Trail Adventures Workshop

Animal ambassadors will teach you how to hike safely and responsibly!

You will have a fantastic time learning about San Diego’s amazing hiking trails during our Trail Adventure program! Participants will discover how to hike responsibly, choose the right gear, and stay safe while enjoying the great outdoors with our adorable animal ambassadors.

Discover the wonders of the trail, no hiking boots required! In this fun, hands-on workshop, young explorers will learn how to plan and prepare for outdoor adventures, choose the right gear, and safely enjoy San Diego’s wild spaces.

 

With the help of our adorable animal ambassadors, kids will explore how to be respectful and responsible while out in nature. This experience is open to everyone, and is a great option for groups, playdates, and Girl Scouts working toward their Trail Adventure badges.
