Get the Kids Outside: Family Nature Walk – Oak Island, Oregon
Doctors and advocates have been telling us for the last couple of years that our kids are getting less active, more obese and less motivated. They are siting everything from video games to more working parents as the cause. Though we really can’t blame any one factor, it is important we do what we can, when we can to get the kids outside and interacting with nature. The fresh air and stimulation will do them good, even if it is only for a couple of hours. Here’s one option for this weekend…
Hike Sauvie Island this weekend with the kids! The Sierra Club Oregon Chapter is offering a two mile loop hike through white oak woodlands, grassy meadows and the shores of Sturgeon Lake this Saturday, June 20 from 9:00am – 1:00pm. Families can bring their binoculars, good walking shoes and water for this great walking excursion along the peninsula. Registration for the event can be done at http://oregon.sierraclub.org, by calling (503) 282-2905 or by emailing rydick@toast.net.
