Metroparks Kids Hiking Club: By Kids For Kids (All Ages, Dog Friendly)

Introducing a fresh take on outdoor exploration: the Metroparks Kids Hiking Club, where young hikers lead the way. This program puts kids in charge—literally. Your guide will be Ivy, an 11-year-old who knows how to make hiking fun and engaging for her peers. It's a wonderful opportunity for children to learn from someone close to their own age while discovering local trails together. Families of all ages are welcome to join in, and if you have a furry friend at home, bring them along too. This is a great option for kids who love the outdoors, want to build confidence on the trail, or simply enjoy exploring nature with other families. The kid-led approach makes the experience feel less formal and more like an adventure with friends.
