On June 24th, we kicked off the Rise and Shine summer hiking club. Mary, of 4-H worked with the scholars to define the values and rules for each hiking group. She also helped the scholars create a journal so that they could document their experiences over the 6 weeks of the hiking club. While each of the 3 hiking groups worked with Mary, we hiked the other 2 groups toward Bracken Mountain Preserver to teach them how close this amazing trail system and gateway is to their home.
It is such a gift to spend time in the woods young minds. I highly recommend it.
It is only because of community volunteers these hikes are happening. Thanks to all of them and Rise and Shine for allowing us to hike with the scholars!
