Take a (Tiny) Hike!

Event Details

Get ready to get down! In this interactive program, we will hit the deck and army crawl to “hike” one hundred inches through the grass and observe the world in miniature. Afterward, we will talk about our findings and there will be an option for participants to draw or sketch some of the things they saw. 


This program is great for kids K-4th grade, but participants of all ages are welcome and encouraged! Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Please bring bug spray and be prepared to get dirty, as we will be “army-crawling” through grass and dirt.
