Annual Easter Egg Hunt 2025
- Details
Easter Egg Hunt on the Trail!
Get ready for an adventure! Join us for our annual Easter Egg Hunt that winds along a 1 km wooded trail. As you wander beneath the trees, keep your eyes peeled for colorful eggs tucked away among the leaves, nestled in tree branches, and hidden behind logs and rocks.
Along the way, enjoy the fresh spring air, chirping birds, and maybe even spot a woodland creature or two!
Perfect for nature loving kids (and their adult guardians), this outdoor hunt promises fun, and a little bit of adventure in every step. Don't forget to bring your favorite basket or bag and wear good footwear for the trail!
Date & Time: Saturday, April 12th, 11:00am-12:30pm
Location: Brooklyn Elementary School (on the Community Trail), 8008 Hwy 14, Newport
Special Prizes for golden eggs!
Free treat bags for the first 300 children!
Come join the fun — Spring is waiting for you in the woods!
If you are looking for an option with less sensory stimulation, we will have a less crowded, quieter, easter egg hunt set up nearby.
