If you want your teen active and outside this year, this is the class for them! The great part about hiking is that it is a relaxed, non-competitive way for people to enjoy the outdoors and get some easy exercise. Come spend some quality time with your teen in this will be a hiking-focused class. We will be moving and exploring new trails for the whole 2 hours.
