Animals need to be mighty athletes in order to survive in the wild. From lifting more than their own body weight or standing on one leg for hours at a time, animals use their athletic abilities to hunt, conserve energy and to quickly escape. Test your animal athlete abilities as we take a hike through Bommer Canyon, comparing our jumps to a mule deer, push-ups to a harvester ant and wing beats to a hummingbird.
Reviewing the 1-through-5 Difficulty Ratings will help you evaluate your readiness to participate in this level-2 activity on the land.
This program is a perfect evening adventure for children 6 – 10 years of age. We will spend time exploring our program’s topic out on the trails to better connect our natural history knowledge with the surrounding canyon. Our hike is a 2 – 3 mile trek along uneven terrain, with possible hills and moderate elevation for children. This is not ideal for off-road strollers. Parent or guardian must register and attend along with their child.
