We'll also hit the trail for a fun, beginner-friendly hike. Along the way, participants will sharpen their observation skills, connect with nature, and gain independence while experiencing a new adventure. Whether you're spotting wildlife, filling the pages of your journal, or navigating the bus route, this outing is all about trying something new, having fun, and discovering that adventure can be found close to home!

We will walk down the street to the SunTran bus stop, where we will board the bus to begin our amazing adventure. What: Enjoy a wonderful outdoor adventure before school begins while learning some basic nature journaling skills.
