Adventure With Us
FALL REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
Welcome to Squeaky Squad hiking club! This exciting program takes place once a week over a period of 7 weeks, providing children with a unique opportunity to grow in nature and connect with other like-minded children.
As part of the club, members will adventure along one of Chattanooga's popular trail systems. The environment offers the perfect setting for children to immerse themselves in the beauty of the great outdoors while fostering a sense of conservation and discovery.
Guided by experienced instructors, the children will learn to identify various native species and learn conservation practices through engaging games, activities, and discussions. It is our hope that they will develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the natural world around them.
Beyond the educational aspects, Squeaky Squad hiking club is designed to assist children in building friendships and positive emotional and social developmental skills. By bringing together children with a shared love for nature, the club creates a supportive community where they can bond and create lasting memories.
