Hiking Club

Do your children need a safe and healthy way to get out of the house and get some exercise? They can join Island Rec’s Hiking Club with Morgan Johnston and explore some trails.

This group meets from 1-3 p.m. on Wednesdays and is for students in grades three through five. Parents must drop-off and pick up their child at each hike’s respective trailhead. The cost of participation is $10 per hike with a discount for enrolling more than one child. Sign up for one or all!

Here are the planned hikes:

• March 24 – Mt. Finlayson

• March 31 – Lime Kiln State Park

• April 7 – English Camp & Young Hill

• April 14 – Mt. Grant

• April 21 – Lafarge Gravel Pit

Teen Open Gym

Teens from grades six through 12 have the gym to themselves from noon-2 p.m. on Sundays from March 21 until April 25. This program is free, however, a parent must sign a waiver for a child to participate.
