We are excited to announce our Pride Community Fun

We are excited to announce our Pride Community Fundraiser for this year, benefitting @bravetrails! 🙌

Brave Trails is an awesome nonprofit, dedicated to connecting LGBTQ+ youth to their people, place and passion! They offer a variety of programs including summer camps in California and Maryland, family camp, mentorship programs and year-round leadership programming. Their programming fosters a variety of ways to safely build community as well as build leadership youth skills. In addition to all of this amazing work they already have going on to support the LGBTQ community, they are also working on rolling out a LGBTQ+ youth mental health program in the fall!

Please join us in supporting their mission by purchasing Pride shirts and swag from the Hike it Baby Swag Shop (link in bio 👆)! From May 4 - June 30, 2021 all proceeds from our rainbow designs will go directly to Brave Trails - help us make our $500 fundraising goal TODAY!

This week's #HiBCommunityShares words of wisdom co

This week's #HiBCommunityShares words of wisdom come from one of our Branch Ambassadors & National Volunteer, Rachel Adams:

"Visiting one of our favorite nature preserves and venturing out on a stroller hike with our newborn the first time since she was born was an incredibly freeing experience. It was like we had collectively been holding our breath since becoming new parents, and getting back out into nature allowed us to finally exhale and realize we could manage this new parent thing!"

How were your first experiences getting back outdoors with your little ones after becoming new parents? 🤱 What do you wish you knew then, that you know now?

Creating a connection to nature for our kiddos doe

Creating a connection to nature for our kiddos doesn’t require fancy adventure gear or pristine destinations.

We believe that creating a true connection begins with seeing and knowing the nature that is nearest to you. The trees on your street, the names of the flowers that pop out of the sidewalk. The bird you hear calling outside your window.

This May, we hope you’ll join us in a month-long celebration of the biodiversity that is all around us. We are partnering with #backyardbio and @ebtsoyp in their national citizen science project and it’s PERFECT for families to join.

All you have to do is get outside 🌳, take a photo 📸 of the nature you see, and share it! Make it an hour, a day, a week, and get out and learn the names of the nature nearest you.

Find out how to participate in Backyard Bios at the link in our bio. 👆
And happy exploring! 💚

#HiBCommunityShares their best advice for getting

#HiBCommunityShares their best advice for getting outside with your little ones:

Melody from @downwithadventure shares "Don’t be afraid to ask questions. When I started out I asked everyone questions. There are no stupid questions. We were all beginners once and we want to help you succeed so don’t be afraid to ask questions about trails you hear about, how to find trails close to you, what to wear for you and baby. Hike it baby provides an amazing community where you can ask questions and learn. We want you to be successful and enjoy the outdoors with your littles."

What's your advice to getting outdoors with your kiddos? Tag us at #HiBCommunityShares to tell us what works for you!

It's the final weekend of our Hike it Baby 30 Challenge! 🥳

This whole month has been about getting outdoors...but sometimes that is easier said than done! Busy schedules, hungry kids, and messy adventures can all make it seem super overwhelming to get out there.

We've got some tips and tricks from the Hike it Baby community on how to make it easier to get everyone outdoors! 🥾

Check them out on our blog - link in bio 👆!

Did you know that Hike it Baby is powered by volun

Did you know that Hike it Baby is powered by volunteers? From our 415 branch ambassadors, to our 70 national volunteers, 5 team captains, and 13 board and advisory board volunteers, our organization would not look the way it does without them! Even more amazing? This incredible volunteer team puts in over 100,000 hours a year! 🤯

This National Volunteer Week, we want to say big THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who keep us up and running! 💚 We love your dedication to our Hike it Baby Communities, and appreciate your hard work every day!

Hike it Baby is a BIG community, we have branches

Hike it Baby is a BIG community, we have branches all over the country, in small towns and large cities.

Because of this, many of us may not be aware that for a lot of families even the word “hiking” feels foreign, like something only wealthy families do, and it is a reality that hits harder for urban communities and communities of color.

This Earth Day 🌎, we are honored to share a petition from the @trustforpublicland . Their “All in for Outdoors” campaign asks Congress to invest in the creation or upgrade of 1000 parks across the country in the communities that need it most.

We know that getting families outside needs to start with nearby nature, with the city parks, the easy-to-access public green spaces, with exactly the places this petition supports. Because caring about nature starts with feeling connected to it, wherever you are.

We encourage you to learn more about the Parks, Jobs, and Equity Act, and support this bipartisan effort. Learn more at the link in our bio.👆

Hike it Baby is All in for Outdoors.🌲

#HiBCommunityShares their best advice for getting

#HiBCommunityShares their best advice for getting outside with your little ones:

@Becca_Outdoors shares "why you should start hiking with your baby now rather than waiting:

👶 Babies only get heavier as they get older. (My son’s weight was one of the main reasons I was hesitant to hike with him...I wasn’t sure I was strong enough. BUT I was able to build up my strength with short hikes to begin with.)

🤫 Babies don’t talk. No 'Are we there yet?' or 'I don’t want to keep going'

🐛 You can cover longer distances compared to when they start walking. #toddlerlife

🌿 You’ll help them get familiar with spending time in the outdoors, and it won’t be as intimidating to them (and you) as they get older. You know your baby best, listen to their needs. But also know that you don’t have to wait until they are older to go on adventures together."

What is your best advice for getting outside with little ones? Share with us and tag #HiBCommunityShares so we can share your advice on!
