You can sign up for the program in person at the first meeting (see the Calendar of Events), or you can sign up ahead of time by clicking HERE.  The objectives of the program can be found HERE.  We are still developing the program but will have various badges of achievement that your son or daughter can obtain by completing certain tasks.

We hope to see you out there as we do our best to get the kids involved in the outdoors.
