This was such fun, we decided to do it again! Bike, photograph or play a round of Disc Golf at Strathcona County Wilderness Center
The Strathcona Wilderness Center is allowing bikes on the trails this season as part of a pilot project! Bring a set of wheels (or comfy walking shoes) and meet up with fellow homeschoolers at the Strathcona Wilderness Center for an adventure around the trails.
Biking not your thing? There’s plenty more to do!
It is a beautiful spot and great place to spot wildlife, so we will keep our eyes (and ears) peeled to see what interesting things we can find. Budding photographers might want to bring a camera to snap a few pictures.
OR if your kid likes a challenge, I will bring some extra discs so kids can also enjoy a round of Disc Golf around the park. Long pants are recommended, since there are plenty of wild roses along the trail.
Meet at the Strathcona Wilderness Center, by the Information Center starting: 1:30 pm
Bring water and snacks!
