It's hiking and camping season and every year people get lost in the woods. Join the Library and Coquitlam SAR to learn about outdoor safety. Our talented guest speakers will go over how kids can stay safe if they get lost, proper outdoor equipment, and recommendations for safe and fun nature excursions.
