Spring Break Explorations for students in grades K-6



Fun (and educational) Spring Break Expeditions along the forest trails of the McKaig park.  Completed and submitted adventures will be entered in drawing to win prizes.

At your own date, time and pace these adventures are for students age 6-12+.

Personalized with your family's name, an emailed printable* instruction packet will provide instructions and places for recording your child’s discoveries. Each exploration should last an hour or 2.

• Orienteering: learn the basics and go point to point along the trails

• Trees: the ultimate renewable resource

• Above your ears: explore the world above your ears

• Geo-cache: download an app and find the caches in the park

• Below your nose: discover nature looking down

• Bonus adventure: a FUN “Teacher In-service” day special (involves water and rocks)


Take pictures of the completed adventure pages and email to info@enjoymckaig.org or text 484 580-9474 to enter drawings to win prizes (tee shirts, paracord survival bracelets and more, limited quantities) Deadline for submission April 17th.  Program in partnership with Roberts Elementary School PTC.

Ben Hodgkins Memorial Scholarships available for disadvantaged students, please email or call.  We believe everyone should be able to learn in the woods and enjoy the park.

Registration is required
Payment In Full In Advance Only
You'll receive, via email, a personalized adventure packet to print. During Spring Break, visit the park and complete the adventures.
By April 17th, submit at least 4 completed adventures to enter drawings to win prizes.

Note that the email will be sent within 48 hours, in past years we had a parent who took advantage and printed many duplicates and handed them out to their child's classmates. So each packet must be personalized. We apologize for the delay in getting them to you. It takes scores of hours to develop and put together these programs.

Thank you for supporting our Visitor Funded Park!
