Hiking Trips

Hiking trips are a great way to get outdoors, take a break from screens, and enjoy nature with other students. These events are simple to organize and can work well as casual, low-cost outings — especially in early fall or late spring.

🧩 How It Works​

  • Pick a local trail or conservation area that’s beginner-friendly and transit-accessible or carpool-friendly.
  • Promote the hike in advance with clear details on meeting points, time, and what to bring.
  • On the day of, gather as a group and hit the trail together!

⚠️ Things to Consider​

Water & Supplies​

  • Remind attendees to bring water and wear appropriate footwear.
  • It’s a good idea to bring a few extra bottles of water just in case someone forgets.

Weather & Backup Plans​

  • Keep an eye on the weather forecast leading up to the hike.
  • Have a backup plan in case of rain or extreme weather

Trail Safety​

  • Choose trails with low difficulty unless you're specifically targeting a more experienced group.
  • Make sure someone has cell service and a basic first aid kit, especially for longer trails.
  • It helps to have one or two people who are familiar with the route ahead of time.
