Greetings! I'm hiking for kids because I think every child deserves and needs the freedom, adventure, and fun of running around outdoors as much as humanly possible. I hike for kids because children growing up in Richmond have inequitable opportunities to safely play and learn outside, and that needs to change. I hope you'll join me in making every child feel welcome in our shared natural spaces. As one former participant said about her time with Blue Sky backpacking in the mountains, "The air is different out there."
