River Trail Loop at Great Falls

We're taking an adventure out to Great Falls Park to complete the 4.6 mile River Trail Loop. This loop is a combination of the Old Carriage Road, Ridge, and River Trails. The trail travels along the Patowmack Canal ruins, Difficult Run, and the Potomac River. There are several awesome views of the river rapids along the way.

Date: Saturday, October 11th from 9:00am to 4:00pm.

This is open to Blossoms (ages 12-14) and advanced Buds (ages 9-11).  We will complete the hike, with two activity blocks built into the day to further encourage the fun one can have outdoors! Park fees are included in registration. 

Activities vary by day, age & group interest, all rooted in discovery, problem-solving, and creativity:

• Trail bingo, scavenger hunts, "build-a-story" time while we hike, animal charades and more!
• Arts & crafts including making nature collages, building beetle forts, and mud painting
