YOUNG HIKERS CLUB

Do you love nature? Do you like adventures? Then the Young Hikers Club is for you!

The club is for children aged 10 to 13. We meet every Tuesday from four to six in the afternoon at the community center in Moab. Each week we learn about the plants, animals and rocks of the desert. Once a month we go on a long hike in the Ramon Crater with a professional guide.

What do you need? Good walking shoes, a hat and at least two liters of water. In the desert, water is more important than anything!

The club costs 150 dollars a month. Brothers and sisters get a 20% discount.

To join, send a message to Eli at (555) 000-0000 before November 15.
