HOEC Expedition Members Meet the Zooniacs
Posted by During this year’s expedition, the Hands-On Explorer Challenge team spent some time hanging out with the Zooniacs. We took an amazing hike together in Glacier National Park and also had a great time at the Whitefish Mountain Resort, where we met Jack Hanna!
Listen to the Zooniacs interviewing the expedition members on the Big Valley Radio website.
