Description
This is the second of two family hikes in November. We will meet at the Wiley Road parking lot of Short Hills Provincial Park and enjoy a leisurely paced (approximately 3km/hr) 90 minute hike on the Bruce Trail. There will be some hills, woods & fields.
During this hike youth hikers can earn their Young Trail Blazers Badge and hikers that participated in the first hike can bring their write up or drawing of how they used their 5 senses during the hike & also earn their Young Nature Blazers Badge. Youth hikers that earn both the Young Nature Blazers Badge and the Young Trail Blazers Badge will receive a copy of Birthday Boots, by Cindi Conlon, a delightful tale of a young family's first hike on the Bruce Trail. Please bring $4 for each badge (correct change only please).
All youth must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and the registration process must be completed for each family member separately, including children, so we have an accurate head count. Participant numbers are limited. Use your membership number for any youth you will be bringing.
