November 15th: “Rock your Mocs” Hike, 5:30pm-6:30pm
Established 2011, Rock Your Mocs, is a worldwide Indigenous Peoples virtual unity event during which people wear their moccasins, take a photo, add the hashtag #ROCKYOURMOCS and upload to social media. This creates “an online photo album” for the world to see and enjoy. Join our naturalist to honor our ancestors and commemorate National Native American Heritage Month. Dress for the weather! Hike will begin at the park’s South Entrance, all ages and abilities welcome!
November 29th: #OptOutside Hike, 11:00am-12:00pm
The #OptOutside movement was started by the outdoor retail company REI in 2015. #OptOutside provides an outdoors alternative to Black Friday shopping. Join our naturalist at the north entrance to Lakeshore State Park & promote the #OptOutside hashtag on social media when sharing photos and videos of our walk through the park. Opt out of shopping for this one day and opt in to having some fun outdoors! Dress for the weather! Hike will begin at the park’s South Entrance, all ages and abilities welcome!
