Growing Explorers Hiking Group

We are excited to invite you to join us for our monthly Growing Explorers Hiking Group. Third hike of the year is May 3.

This is a welcoming space for all to connect and enjoy the outdoors together. Whether you’re a family of one or many, young or young at heart, everyone is welcome, including furry friends.

We’ll gather at Kids Park Playground in Dellwood Park, then head out for a hike and explore. Along the way, we’ll share conversation and soak in the beauty of the forest and cliffside trails. We’d love to grow this community together one step at a time.

🦋 A special moment we are hoping to share - We are currently raising five painted lady caterpillars, and if nature cooperates, we’re hoping they’ll be ready to emerge as butterflies just in time. If so, we’ll plan a simple butterfly release before we set off on our hike. I will keep you posted!

Hiking Tips for Our Adventure:
🌞 Fun first, perfection later.
🌿 Adventure isn't linear - feel free to wander and wonder, hike together or branch off.
🌎 Respect the earth and trails.
