NEW FRIENDS BEND | Hunt + Gather @ Shevlin Park

New Friends Bend – Into the Wild Series

Join us for a cozy winter afternoon of connection, movement, and nature at Shevlin Park! This Hunt + Gather experience is all about slowing down, getting outside, and meeting new friends through simple, playful prompts inspired by the spirit of hunter-gatherers.

We’ll begin promptly at 1:00 PM at The Pavilion near the Southside Shevlin Park parking lot, so please plan to arrive a few minutes early to get settled.

From there, we’ll head out in small groups for a guided hunt + gather activity — think light exploration, fun reflection prompts, and seeing the park (and each other) through fresh eyes.

After our time in nature, we’ll reconvene back at the Pavilion for a ~30 minute social hang, where you can warm up, chat, and continue connecting.

What to know:

• 🧥 DRESS WARM – we’ll be outside most of the time
• 🐾 Friendly dogs are welcome
• 🌿 All levels welcome – this is a relaxed, low-pressure experience
• 🤍 Come solo or with a friend — most people come on their own!

This is part of our New Friends Bend: Into the Wild series, created for anyone in Bend who’s looking to make genuine connections in a simple, natural way.

Come as you are. You belong here. 🌲✨

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
