North, South, East, West; how do we know where to go? That’s the test! Learn the basics of navigation by discovering how to read and work a map and compass. Then put your skills to the test on a fun scavenger hunt.

This program is a perfect afternoon adventure for children ages 6 – 10 years of age. We will spend time exploring our program’s topic, maybe create a craft or play a game, before we head out on the trails to practice what we learned. Our hike will be a gentle one mile trek along uneven terrain. Off road strollers are welcome to join the fun!

Parents or guardians must register themselves and their child(ren).
