What to Expect

This year's rally focuses not only on the world around us, but also on the importance of caring for your health! We have several presenters coming to speak on topics such as water quality, edible plants and medicinals, fishing, and more! We also plan on having kayaks and fun hikes for you to participate in, and a kids corner for them to paint gourd birdhouses, enjoy scavenger hunts, and learn about different rocks!

When it comes to hikes, they fill up fairly quickly. In order to minimize stress for our hike leaders, we suggest that you pre-register ahead of time so that you are guaranteed one of our limited slots for the hikes being led this year! There are hikes occurring at 10am, as well as 1:30pm. The schedule is below for you to look over them prior to registration.
