Hike With Baby 0-12 Months

For Mothers & Their Infants

Our Hike with Baby program offers moms a refreshing and supportive way to get moving outdoors while bonding with their little ones. Designed specifically for mothers and babies in their first year, this class focuses on gentle hiking, fresh air, and connection. Each hike provides a safe, steady-paced walk suitable for babywearing. With an emphasis on community and well-being, this program creates a welcoming space for moms to enjoy time in nature, meet others in a similar stage of life, and introduce their babies to the outdoors in a calm, nurturing way.

Hikes are approximately 2 miles and are led by our school founder, Brinkley Powers.
