Hike it Baby creates opportunities and removes barriers to access so families with babies and young children can take their first steps outside. We believe all families have the right to connect with nature, benefit from spending time outdoors, and be inspired to a lifelong love of nature.
This programming supports families who have often not felt welcomed in the outdoors. It gives them the chance to experience the impact and support of nature and community for their young children and their families as a whole.
Our programming empowers new parents as they take their first steps outside with their newborn, providing the resources, community, and gear they need to feel confident and connected in nature.
Our branches connect families in local outdoor spaces as they venture into nature on community led hikes. We use the term 'hike' loosely and encourage families to join us outside regardless of their hiking experience.
