Have a Happy Memorial Day!

Let's go on a Hike!

Let's go on a hike like our Turtle friends.
They love to head to Nature and learn without a device.
Going on nature walks helps the group keep in mind,“Leave camp as you found it, leave no trash behind!”

Remember to enjoy your Memorial Day and stay safe.
