The Thrive Trailer from Rochester Parks and Recreation visited Northrop before winter break. Our preschool kids loved getting to play with all of the different activities!
What is the Thrive Trailer, you ask? The Thrive Outside Winter Activities Trailer helps community members of all backgrounds and ages get outdoors, be active, socialize, and enjoy winter. The trailer is filled with winter activities like sleds, snowshoes, fort-building kits, and more.
