Trek the Trail
Get ready for a fun-filled day on the Trail! We have exciting activities just for you. From exploring nature to creating art, there is something for everyone on the Butler Trail. Grab your family, bring your curiosity, and let’s start our adventure!
Each location outlined in the passport corresponds with an ‘activity’ for the family to do. The student should read the activity and record their answer to complete that adventure. The passport is designed to be completed at your leisure – all in one day or broken into smaller day trips to the parks. Once all of the activities have been completed, make sure to fill out the Student Information on the book’s cover and have the student turn the book into their PE teacher at [SCHOOL].Â
Deadline: To be eligible to win prizes, the Adventure Passport must be turned in by November 8.Â
Prizes: Students who complete all five adventures will receive a $50 H-E-B gift card and a TTC Activity Pack. The prizes will be distributed by November 22.
