If you have been following the blog you know that I have been alluding to some changes happening at Into the Wild Family Nature Club. Well I am happy to finally be able to anounce all the details.
Into the Wild will be teaming up with Our Big Earth to offer a walking series this spring. If you don't already know, Our Big Earth is an amazing website and media company offering information, inspiration and so much more for families in the Comox Valley. As part of the mission of Our Big Earth to empower families and inspire community they have been offering seasonal walking series for the last few years as a way to get families outside together with their NeighborWood Walk program. It seemed like a natural fit with what we have been trying to do at Into the Wild Family Nature Club, and to that end we decided to work together. Into the Wild Family Nature Club will be able to reach a much larger audience, and Our Big Earth can expand their walking program.
The weekend spring walking series will begin May 7th and run for six consecutive Saturdays, taking a break for the May long weekend, with final walk happening June 13th. The walks will begin at 1pm at various locations around Campbell River and area. You can register for the walks on the Our Big Earth website. The walks are free and children will receive a hand-made journal and some other goodies for participating. Registration is limited to 30 children, so register soon.
We are so excited about teaming up with Our Big Earth and being a part of the amazing work they do. We are also looking forward to meeting many more families and joining them for good times outside. See you on the trails!
Wow, this is so exciting! I am a faithful OBE reader and always wishing there was more for those of us up in CR. I don't know how I missed knowing about the Into the Wild Club. I'm checking our schedule to see if we can commit to the Spring Walks before signing up.
ReplyDeleteHow long is each walk (approximately)?
Even if we can't commit to all of the OBE walks we will try and meet up with one of your other outings.
Thanks
So glad you found us. The walks will last around 90 minutes to two hours. Actually walking time will be around one hour with time for breaks and just playing around. There will be lots of flexibility so families can stay as long or as little as they like. We hope to see you on the trails!
