At Hamlin Beach State Park
Winter break means time off from school, but it need not be a break from learning and fun. Explore the wonders of winter with free guided experiences at Hamlin Beach State Park. Winter Explorers activities include walks, games, crafts, and scavenger hunts offered by park staff. This program series is geared toward families, but all are welcome. Meet at Area 3 Shelter 3. Any walking will be a mile or less. For more information, visit the Events page at https://friendsofhbsp.org.
