A program for ALL ages! The Chief Noonday Chapter encourages you to bring your children or grandchildren, and tell your neighbors and friends. Whether you’re a hiker, a family looking for outdoor adventures, or someone curious about the North Country Trail, this evening is for you: A unique opportunity to hear about the Trail from the very fresh perspective of a young person!

Youth on the North Country Trail: “Good for Your Body, Brain, and Heart”, presented by Bernadette Will, joined by Lisa Will.

Join us for an inspiring evening on the North Country Trail through the eyes of 9-year-old adventurer Bernadette Will! Bernadette has hiked hundreds of miles across three states and has a passion for the Trail that’s hard to put into words – though she’ll certainly try! She believes hiking offers limitless benefits, especially for kids and families. From boosting physical health to improving your “brain and feelings-heart,” Bernadette is eager to share what makes the North Country Trail so special.

Also joining us, is her mom, Lisa Will, who lives in West Michigan and works remotely for the University of South Florida. Together, they’ll talk trail life, family hiking tips, and why they’re so passionate about getting outside.

Following Bernadette’s talk, all are welcome to stick around for our Chief Noonday NCT chapter monthly meeting.

If you’re unable to attend in person, please join us on Zoom:
