  • No, it's not. Happy Trails: Grown Up and Me Adventure Club is a separate program operated by Happy Day Play in partnership with Bernikow JCC.

It's a great way to add some extra fun and excitement to your day! If you have any more questions or want to learn more about our program, feel free to reach out. We'd love to chat!
