Trip Description: Cool off with a day at Blue Spring State Park, home to one of Florida's largest springs and a beloved summer swimming hole. We'll hike the park's shaded trails and take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear 72°F spring waters. It's the perfect way to beat the Florida summer heat while exploring one of the state's most beautiful natural areas. 

What's Included: All of our adventures include all necessary gear for the activity (including day packs), transportation to/from the activity, and professional guidance by OA Trip Leaders. All staff are certified in First Aid/CPR/AED, and most are certified Wilderness First Responders. 

What's Not Included: Participants should wear athletic clothing (swimsuits, dry fit clothing), appropriate footwear (shoes that fit closely to your feet and can get wet), and bring personal water/snacks. A full packing list will be provided at the Pre-Trip Meeting.
