First Friday of each month

— from Eve Batchelder, DVSAS —

Wanted: An adventurous team of 5th and 6th grade boys and girls excited to lace up their hiking boots, pull on their rain jackets, and join us as we venture into the great outdoors!

In partnership with DVSAS, the Funhouse will be hosting a 5th and 6th grade club for boys and girls beginning in February and running through June. The ‘Stepping-Up Fridays’ club will meet the first Friday of each month, and consist of monthly outdoor hikes, marine beach excursions, sustainable farming field trips, and an outdoor overnight camping trip. Service learning and skills-building activities encouraging healthy boundaries and positive self-esteem will be integrated on each outing.

A healthy dinner will also be provided.

Spring dates are: 2/12 (second Friday due to scheduling conflicts), 3/4, 4/1, 5/6, and 6/3-4. The group meets at 3:30 pm and ends around 7.

Attendance is free; space is limited. To sign up or for more information, contact Rebecca at the Funhouse at: 376-7177.
