Jueves, Abril 11th 1 pm – 2:30 pm at Pomona Grange (Touch/Texture)
This is a short walk to incorporate the sense of touch into our experience with nature. Kids are always exploring the world through touch and texture so we thought it would be fun to dedicate some time to really honor that way of coming to know a place.
Lunes, Abril 15th 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm at Padilla Bay Trail (Scent)
Breathe in. Can you smell the new growth of Spring? Give your kiddos the chance to smell the fresh air coming off the bay water. Take a moment to do some breathing exercises as we wander the water’s edge for a walk that is 1-4 miles.
Lunes, Abril 22nd 12:30 pm -2:00 pm at Stimpson’s Family Nature Preserve (Sound)
Who is making that noise? Is it a bird sitting in the tree? Or is it the wind gently blowing through the leaves? Walk with us as we explore all the quiet noises of nature. What noise does the rock make when it’s dropped on the path? We will have the chance to explore what sounds we make as we move through nature.
We will meet at the trailhead of the walk for the community to gather to eat lunch together from 12:15 pm -12:45 pm. Please bring your own lunch as food will not be provided.
Viernes, Mayo 3rd 1:30 pm -3 pm at Little Mountain Park (Air)
What better place to have the little ones then at Little Mountain Park? Come to this family trek where we will be focusing on the air by doing some friendly breathing activities and walking as far as you want. All levels are welcome.
