Do you love the outdoors and want to explore the world? Ever thought about hiking the Appalachian Trail or camping in the Grand Canyon? What about climbing Mount Everest? There’s no time like the present to get started! It doesn’t matter if you are 8 years old or 18. Who’s to say there’s an age limit on learning outdoors skills? Start planning your trip now. Gain the knowledge and skills to plan a trip for yourself, your family or 4-H club. It could be a day trip, an overnight trip or a weeklong trip locally or across the world! This program is the first step on your journey…

By the end of this program, you will be able to plan, prepare for, and go on a hiking trip with your friends family or 4-H club. You will be well equipped to be the leader of the hike and teach others what you know!
