Middle School Outings

Teens to Trails offers Middle School Outings for registered clubs at a variety of locations each Fall and Spring.

Middle School Outings are a new, annual program to encourage middle school students to learn about each other and their natural surroundings, connect with their peers and enjoy downtime together outdoors.

Three teenagers in a forest, one girl wearing a blue hoodie and yellow Crocs, holding a fallen tree branch, another girl in a tie-dye hoodie and black leggings walking through the woods, and a boy in a blue hoodie and black pants, all around trees and fallen logs.
