Registration is required. Registration can be completed 100% online in the Play Lewisville Store in Amilia under Outdoor Adventures.
Students in each class will participate in hands-on outdoor activities related to the day's theme. Each student should bring a refillable water bottle, sack lunch that can be carried on the trail, and a snack. Please wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. In the event of rain, classes may be rescheduled. All classes run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Parents may choose to attend with their students, or may drop students off. Younger siblings are welcome, but must be adequately supervised by a parent during class time. There are separate classes for K-2nd graders, 3rd-5th graders, and 6th-8th graders.
