Our Mini Mountaineers program provides youth ages 2-5 and their parents/guardians with the opportunity to get outside twice a month. Mini Mountaineers is designed to get families outside, creating a lasting bond with nature, learning about different plants and  nature facts, and being creative with art in nature. 

Mini Mountaineers will be supported by both Mountaineers staff as well as parents who are approved for leading trips.  Parents will play an active role in supporting their children by actively participating on the trips, supervising their youth, and possibly even leading some trips if they feel ready. We will provide opportunities for parents to advance their own outdoor skills as well as learn key skills for leading kids safely in the outdoors. This program will focus on skill-building for both youth and adults, and on building an outdoor community.

Youth within the age of 2 and 5 may register as participants, and therefore pay the registration and program fee. Parents must register themselves for activities as well. Each child is required to have a guardian present for the Mini Mountaineers Programs.
