Take Me to the River Field Trip (TMTTR)

In October, volunteers are needed to help park rangers engage 4th grade students in an orienteering scavenger hunt, fire building activity, and/or shelter building activity and help with set up, take-down, and transitions between stations. This opportunity requires quite a bit of walking and student engagement (park rangers will lead all stations). These activities build a foundation for outdoor camping skills, something many of us learned when we were young and still use today. You can be a part of this learning for young students, sign up below!
