We will be hiking and looking for signs of animal life as we walk. Birds, insects, animal tracks.
The Guelph Hiking Trail Club leads free Kids Hikes to various Guelph locations. Check the website and calendar.

We welcome all interested kids and their adults to join us on these 90 minute walks.

Kids Hike information:

• Kids Hikes are on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon starting at 1:00 pm.
• Children must be accompanied by an adult on the hike.
• No strollers, and no pets, please.
• Dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear.
• The majority of children attending our Kids Hikes are ages 4 - 14 (and sometimes there are even younger ones carried by their parents).

There will be two hiking groups: 

• Tortoise Group walks at a pace for shorter legs (the Tortoise group is generally ages 4 - 6).
• Hare Group walks at a faster pace and longer distance.

Bad Weather? If the weather forecast looks dismal on hike day, we postpone to a later Sunday. We make that decision on the Saturday or Sunday morning of the hike, and if we decide to postpone we will e-mail/phone registered participants around 11:00 am.

• Please register in advance for the hike. 
• Look for more information on Hikes throughout the year. 
• Attend 3 hikes and earn a hiking badge.
