About the Course

When Making Tracks started we had classes for kids ages 7-18 but the whole family was welcome to come. After pausing at the beginning of the pandemic, we are ready to bring these programs back.

We will meet the fourth Friday of every month for two and a half hours for games, skills, and social bonding. We want every member of the family to be able to enjoy nature and learn how to thrive in it.

Have a skill you have always wanted to learn? Request it, and let's have some fun!
