The Tyke Hike:

This year, we will focus on Wisconsin-based picture book authors and Ice Age Trail Segments. Our hike will begin after this month’s featured book, Mr. McGinty’s Monarchs by Linda Vander Heyden. Families with children of all ages should attend!

These hikes give kids the opportunity to explore, discover and participate in natural play. They last approximately 1-2 hours and can cover up to 1.5 miles. Tyke Hikes are led by Peter Dargatz, a forest kindergarten teacher and Ice Age Trail volunteer.

Tyke Hike Details:

Join us on a family-friendly stroll along the Waterville Segment! We will hike for approximately 30 minutes at a child-led pace and then return. There will be occasional stops for play and exploration along the way. Hikers should dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable shoes/hiking boots. Most importantly, bring water.

Location:

Please meet at Lapham Peak’s Evergreen Shelter.
