HALF-DAY HIKES & CRAFTS

School's out early, so lets head outside to enjoy the fall season exploring beautiful, local woodland properties!
On each trail we will practice map reading before departing into the local landscape. Making our way through the unique land formations of each location, we’ll be looking for different seasonal plants and try to quietly catch a glimpse of the woodland animals. Finally, after completing our hike, it will be time to create artwork inspired by the day's adventure - incorporating the great outdoors with your own creativity and imagination!
