RETURN OF BRIDGING THE BAY CAMFT CHAPTER HIKE SERIES!
Join us on Saturday, April 11 for a hike hosted by East Bay CAMFT at Briones Regional Park
Back by popular demand, we will be joining up with our sibling chapters across the bay to explore and connect across bridges.
Kicking it off will be East Bay CAMFT hosting a hike at Briones Regional Park. Briones has over 6,000 acres of land that is home to black-tailed deer, coyotes, squirrels, red-tailed hawks, turkey vultures, and wildflowers in season. Members from SF CAMFT will also be joining us on what we hope will be a beautiful day for a hike.
We will set out on the hike at 9:45am, so get there early enough to get parking/situated accordingly. Craig Toonder, LMFT, is coordinating this event from EB CAMFT. If you have any specific questions, you can reach out to him at ctoondermft@gmail.com or give him a call day-of-hike for issues or problems at 510-499-7137.
