4th & New Member

High Adventure Treks is a unique program, different from other programs in which dads & daughters and dads & sons may have participated, so all new HATS members, as young as 4th grade, are invited to spend a special fall weekend together learning first-hand just what HATS is all about.  During this special weekend, girls & boys and their dads will learn about the HATS mission, our non-negotiables, and get a taste of the adventures to come.

Since we’ll spend so much time in the outdoors over the next several years, we spend some time on this first campout sharing tips and tricks for staying comfortable, eating well, and being prepared for spending 2 days in the woods.  On Saturday, girls & boys and their dads will work together to follow the clues to the Great Pumpkin Search.  Once they find that elusive gourd, the daughters will have a chance to carve their prize pumpkin, with some help from dad.

Throughout the weekend, our campers will play the first few games of the dozens they’ll experience in the coming years in the HATS program and discover their most valuable possession.  Sunday morning will give our campers their first dad & daughter or dad & son breakout session, our favorite part of every campout!  We hope you’ll join us for this wonderful way to begin your HATS experience.
