We’ll do about a 2.5 mile hike with a lot of hills. Please arrive on time. There will be bottles of water and a snack after the hike and we can have some social time and visit. If you'd like water during the hike, please bring a water bottle of your own. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT HIKES AND STROLLS: Caregivers and parents who accompany participants must stay by them the entire time, keep up with their pace of walking, and help maintain social distancing. Please wear appropriate shoes (no flip-flops!)

Ready to cool off on a hot summer evening? If you answered yes, plan to join us at the Redwood Pool in Apple Valley for some fun in the water. Remember to bring a towel! You can also bring swim goggles if you'd like. We'll swim in the evening from 7-9pm. Complimentary water bottles will be available to keep you hydrated. There is no fee for caregivers.

Let's explore as we hike along the Old Cedar Bridge area. You will be near the river so there's sure to be wildlife and more to see! Dress for the weather and bring a water bottle to keep you hydrated during the hike. We will have water bottles and a snack for you at the end of the hike so we can enjoy some social time. Remember to wear sturdy shoes for hiking.
