Featured Class of the Week: Mommy & Me Hike 

 

10/6 from 10:30-11:30 am at The Recreation Activities Center, all ages welcome
 
We invite you and your child to join our naturalist on a nature discovery and exercise walk. After the walk you may explore our outdoor natural play area and "BYOL" (bring your own lunch) to enjoy with other moms. The trail is unpaved so all-terrain strollers are recommended. A baby backpack/carrier is suggested for infants.
 
This is a FREE program, but pre-registration is required.
