Hike with Barnacles & Bees

Avoid the shopping business and join Lead Teacher Kathryn on a hike through Manchester State Park! Download a scavenger hunt (below!) of fungus, birds, and native plants to explore with your child whether you can join us or not! 

Who: Barnacles & Bees Families!
When: Friday, November 26th
Time: Meet @ 10:00am, Big round floats in front of the Torpedo Warehouse
Where: Manchester State Park (https://parks.state.wa.us/DocumentCenter/View/1905/Manchester-State-Park-PDF) 
Hiking Guide: Kathryn Stenberg

This is the loop Kathryn thoroughly enjoys in the area! It has a big field in the middle of the hike for some ideal running around and wet-weather picnicking. The duration may vary, but averages about two hours with 1-4 year olds and a couple snack/play breaks. 

Things to bring:
  • Discover Pass Required
  • Snack for the hike and/or lunch for afterwards
  • Weather-appropriate clothing

Additional info:
  • No restrooms on the hiking loop
  • Not stroller friendly as there is a set of stairs halfway through and the trail can have some rocks and roots
  • The trail by the water is safe, no steep drop offs, but still a good idea to keep an extra eye on the little ones. 
  • Dogs allowed but must be leashed at all times​
