Thursday

Frisbee (Disc) Golf - Come hang out for an hour or so and play some Disc Golf!

Please email Duncan, [log in to unmask], to reserve your spot (capacity is 9).

 

Shoe (Frisbee (Disc)) Golf - If hand eye coordination is not your thing but foot eye coordination is, then come kick it with Rachel at 1:00 pm on Paresky Steps! Shoe Golf is similar to Frisbee (Disc) Golf but involves kicking your shoe towards the designated target instead of throwing a traditional frisbee. Wear a mask, a pair of shoes, and at least one sock that you are willing to get dirty! Please email Rachel, [log in to unmask], to reserve your spot! (Capacity is 9)

Friday

Weekly sunrise hike “wake up” and down Pine Cobble - witness sunrise at 6:35 am.
