Want to Host Outside - This is Your First Step.
You do not need to be an expert to build community outdoors.
You just need to care and show up.
Outings with our Hike it Baby Program are hosted by everyday caregivers who want to create space for families to connect with nature. Whether it's your first time or your fiftieth, we’re here to support you.
This is where it starts.

What Is an Outside Guide?
Outside Guides are the people who make this movement possible.
They plan simple outings, post them to our calendar, and welcome others to join. Some host monthly meetups, others lead weekly walks. Some love big groups, others keep it quiet and cozy.
There’s no one way to do it. You decide what works for you.
What Hosting Can Look Like
-
A babywearing walk around your neighborhood
-
A toddler-led adventure in the local park
-
A stroller-friendly trail with other caregivers
-
A calm morning meet-up after preschool drop-off
No matching gear. No perfect plan. Just presence.
