Hit the Trail
Our hiking programs are designed to get out on the trails and explore local parks with an experienced leader while meaningfully connecting with others in our community.
Tiny Trekkers
Ages 0-6 + their adults, siblings welcome
The Y Outdoors family trail walk & park exploration program is designed to help families access our local parks, increase confidence adventuring outdoors in all weather and build community amongst families with young kids.
Join us at a different park each week! During this time we will explore the different offerings of that location and take a short group hike.
