trip on the Winooski River.

WEEK 2: BIKE WEEK! Join us as we explore some of the different bike trails in and around Vermont. We will be

riding on the Island Line Bike Trail, taking a bike ferry to South Hero, winding our way on

the beautiful Stowe Bike Path, checking out the Green Mountains near Jeffersonville, and

ending the week with another kayak adventure.

WEEK 3: EXPLORE VERMONT WEEK! This week we will be exploring some of the more iconic locations that Vermont has to offer. From berry

picking to trying something cold, sweet and refreshing (think ice cream) to checking out the wildlife along

beautiful Lake Champlain to another kayaking trip. See if you can find the Great Blue Heron!

WEEK 4: HIKE VERMONT WEEK! Starting off with a relatively easy hike close to home , this week promises to allow you to

see some of the best views of the Green Mountain state from a few of the mountain

peaks that hikers love to climb. Each day’s hike will end with a hard earned treat

(something cold, sweet and refreshing).

WEEK 5: WATER ADVENTURES WEEK! Vermont is packed full of amazing water holes, ponds, lakes, rivers, and stream, and we plan to visit the best

of them. There will be a certified lifeguard on staff, so we will have a fun, safe and WET adventure every

day!

WEEK 6: OVERNIGHT CAMPING WEEK!

Join us for a 3 day, 2 night camping trip to one of Vermont’s beautiful state parks.

We will be cooking all of our meals around the campfire, playing games, swim-

ming in a lake, hiking up to a fire tower, and making lots of memories. This trip

always ends up being a favorite part of the summer, so sign up fast!

EXPLORE OUR GREAT STATE!
