Tike Hikes

About Tike Hikes: Join other parents for 'hikes' with toddlers & preschoolers. We meet at 'short and easy' trails in the Dane County area for nature walks with children ages 2-7 (younger welcome in a carrier/pack). Expectant moms welcome to join us too! Let your children walk and explore the outdoors.

Please arrive about 5-10 minutes early for hikes so that we can all assemble and head out on time. Be sure to RSVP for the hike(s) you will be attending! Hope to see you there.

 

Fall tike hikes coming soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 


Here are a few Tike Hike tips. Please review before our outing.

All trails we will visit for the Tike Hikes will be easy trails. Most will have both sunny and shady areas, with mowed paths and trails.

Tips for the trails:
-Stay on the trails
-Please, no plant, animal or rock collecting or picking
-Water is fine on the trails, but please save snacks for before or after the hike
-No pets
-Parents are responsible for the safety of their own children. Please stay with your child at all times!

Preparation Tips:
-Your child should wear sturdy shoes.
-Bring water!!!
-Dress your child appropriately for the weather.

-If you feel the need to apply an insect repellent, please apply it before you arrive (follow application instructions on the package), and use a fragrance free or unscented version. There will be other children and parents on the trails with you - and some may be sensitive or have allergies (and there may be babies!!)! So please be considerate so that we may all enjoy the walk - thanks!

No sick kids, please. Runny noses, colds or the flu are best at home - we don't want to get othert kids or babies sick. Thanks!
