Hike-A-Thon
Our nature preschoolers independently hike for as long as they want on their scheduled day! We cheer them on and have a great time supporting them!
What is the Hike-A-Thon?
Our little hikers can’t wait to hit the trails, and with your support, we can make this event a huge success! Sponsorships help provide the supplies needed to create an unforgettable experience while ensuring we can continue offering top-quality, nature-based care to families in Central Arkansas. Join us in nurturing the next generation of outdoor explorers!
Community Centered
Our Nature Preschool Hike-a-Thon is a community-centered event that brings together not just our preschoolers, but also their families, extended relatives, and a dedicated team of volunteers. With approximately 60 preschoolers participating, we expect a lively crowd of enthusiastic hikers and supporters cheering them on.
Connect with Others Who Value Outdoor Education
This event is a wonderful opportunity for sponsors to connect with local families who value outdoor education and nature-based learning.
Support our Little Hikers!
Our nature preschoolers take on the trails, hiking as far as their little legs will carry them—at their own pace—on their special hike-a-thon day! We cheer them on, celebrate their achievements, and most importantly, have a blast together.
This event isn’t just about the fun (though there’s plenty of that!)—it also helps us gather the supplies we need to make it a success and continue providing high-quality, nature-based care to families in Central Arkansas. If you’d like to support our young hikers and the outdoor learning experiences they love, there are a few ways to do so – consider sponsoring a child’s miles, becoming, a volunteer at the event, becoming an event sponsor or even a donation to the Nature Preschool. Every step they take is made even more meaningful with your generosity!
