4th Hike with Dinosaurs

In the spring of 4th grade, daughters & sons and their dads have their next opportunity to spend 2 days together in the woods with HATS.  Using the camping skills they acquired at the new member campout, we will add hiking to the adventure, and visit Dinosaur Valley State Park for a beautiful day hike.  There will be more HATS games and opportunities for our 4th-grade, daughters & son, to get more comfortable introducing themselves to the group, leading exercises, and talking to their dads.

The theme for our weekend is “What footprints are we leaving?”, so as we hike, we’ll talk about  the marks we leave on each other, our family, our school, our community, our country, and the environment.  Seeing the fossilized footprints as we wrap up our day hike really helps bring home that we really do leave our mark on the world around us and sets the stage for another great dad &  daughter and dad & son breakout session on Sunday morning.
