Two Tracks, Right-Sized
Explorers
Ages 7–10
Built for younger adventurers discovering the outdoors. Shorter routes, more games, guided skill-building. Every kid finishes the day feeling capable.
Trailblazers
Ages 11–14
For older kids ready for real challenges. Longer hikes, technical climbing, summit days. Trailblazers-only routes like Mt. Rose Summit and Hunter Creek push them further.
Trailblazers-only days availableA Day at Mt. Rose Meadows
Every day follows the same rhythm. Here is what a typical hiking day looks like.
Staff arrive at the venue, check gear, review the day plan and weather.
Check-in at the designated muster point. Parents sign kids in, staff do a headcount and buddy-pair assignment.
Head to the trailhead. Gear check, trail mix, and a route briefing on the way.
On the trail or at the crag. Instruction, exploration, and structured outdoor learning.
Picnic lunch at a scenic spot. Leave No Trace practice, knot-tying, or navigation skills.
Afternoon adventure — creek exploration, summit bid, or a second climbing block depending on the route.
Pack up, share highlights, head back. Photos sent to parents throughout the afternoon.
ID-checked sign-out at the same muster point. Tired, dirty, and proud.
