PINE RIVER — Happy Dancing Turtle is offering two overnight camping experiences for girls in second through eighth grades.
Through the trips, or “Turtle Treks,” girls will have the opportunity to experience the ins-and-outs of camping while building friendships and enjoying time outdoors. Girls taking part in Turtle Treks will learn camping skills like how to set up a tent, how to start and cook over a fire, and “Leave No Trace” responsibilities.
“We learn about Minnesota’s land, water, plants, animals, and the night sky while exploring state parks and other beautiful sites in our great state,” stated Program Coordinator Michelle Hoefs in a news release.
The Turtle Trek for girls who will be entering fifth through eighth grades in the fall is July 11-13 in Lake Bemidji State Park. For girls entering second through fourth grades in the fall, the Turtle Trek will be Aug. 22-23 to Sand Lake property in Pine River.
