Open doors to the great outdoors with HAWKs
We are an outdoor hiking adventure program that helps your explorers grow through learning and the discovery of nature.
Our Mission
Our primarily outdoor programs encourage children’s sense of wonder about the natural world, familiarize them with local plants and animals, teach them the fundamentals of hiking, trail safety, and LNT (Leave No Trace) while instilling a deep sense of connection to the outdoors. Led by experienced educators, HAWKs knows how to connect students to the natural world in a fun and safe way.
HAWKs is an investment in our children’s wellness as much as an investment in the future of our environment.
Why Nature Matters for Kids
In today’s digital age, children face unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety. The constant pressures of social media, academic achievement, and overscheduled lives can leave kids feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and uncertain. But research shows that time spent in nature can be a powerful antidote. HAWKs programing allows kids to learn, adapt, and overcome obstacles, building lifelong skills including:
Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking
Leadership and Teamwork
Self-Reliance and Independence
Creativity and Imagination
Physical Health and Wellness
