Come enjoy games, crafts, pumpkin carving, food and this fascinating outdoor trail, geared toward ages 4 to 10.  The unifying theme of this year’s trail is “Halloween is a seasonal celebration,” and we will highlight the cycles of nature.  Your trail group will be guided by costumed characters along the lake trail through several stations of fun interactive activities.  Costumed Penn State Recreation, Parks and Tourism Management students produce each trail station.  These ‘characters’ receive credits and valuable experience as part of the course entitled “Natural History Interpretation, RPTM 325,” taught by Shaver’s Creek faculty.
