Hike and Seek: Family Adventures

Saturdays, 10 am – 12 pm

BEEC and the Boys & Girls Club of Brattleboro are collaborating to provide guided, outdoor, free, family adventures.  Families are invited to partake in short walks to local spots with naturalists and educators from both organizations. These excursions are themed and are designed to inspire families to have fun together outdoors.
