Adventure Kids Series

Summer is coming, and we'd love for you to join us for our Adventure Kids Summer Series excursions. We'll meet at four different locations and explore our own backyard. We'll look for fossils, find new trails, and learn about local geology. The first 15 or so minutes of each meet-up will be dedicated to a speaker, who will teach us more about the area, stewardship, or geology. After that, we'll head out for a hike. There is no age limit, and any child may attend WITH A PARENT / GUARDIAN. (Parents, you may not drop children off.) How far we get, what we see, where we go all depends on who shows up for each hike.
