The PTA is passing along this message from Clare McLean, one of our wonderful Kindergarten Assistants here at Abingdon. She also serves as the Summer Camp Assistant Director at the Outdoor Lab.
The Phoebe Hall Knipling Outdoor Lab welcomes all Arlington families to the Open House. Come explore our 226 acres of mountain trails, meadows, streams, and pond. While at the Lab, your family can:
- Fish in the pond (cane poles & worms provided!)
- Paddle the boats
- Hike our trails (over 5 miles, various hiking abilities)
- Observe critters in our Nature Center (Maybe pet a snake?)
- Find a perfect spot for a family picnic! (Bring your lunch!)
