Family Hike is open to all ages and gives our members a chance to connect with each other. The group will decide at the session which trail to hike and we generally encourage the group to stay together, though it is not necessary. Families with older children may want to move faster than those with younger ones. We will usually end this session with a shared snack.

Nature Crafts is our time to get creative. We start the session with free play, then sit at picnic tables for a craft and story. This session is most appropriate for preschool and elementary age children.

Forest Friends is a child-led session, with a focus on learning through play. We will hike a path, explore the varied terrains, sing songs, and have story time. It is age-appropriate for toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary aged children.

Nature Navigators is a hiking and learning session that includes some element of outdoor or survival skills. This could be anything from learning to use a compass, learning wild native edible plants, to building a lean-to shelter. This session is great for school aged kids all the way through high school and is held in the later afternoon. We usually have a snack time in the middle of the session and enjoy sharing food family-style.

Bushcraft Kiddos is a session focused on younger kids learning skills for thriving in a natural environment. It is most appropriate for early elementary aged children. This is not a hiking session, rather we prefer to focus on skill-building and learning through play.

Join our little pioneers while we explore the wooded trails, wetland wildlife, wild edibles and whatever wonders we can discover that day. This session is targeted at toddler/ preschool age humans and while all ages are welcome, the speed may be a bit slower than some of our more advanced adventurers are used to. We gauge each session based off of what the little ones are up for that day, and adapt accordingly. Some days may be a 15 minute walk and then snacks/activities by the pond, while others might be a 2 hour hike with a snack break in the middle. We shepard the young ones while they choose/ create their own adventure and work out their ever changing social skills.
