For the second year in a row, Wilderness Kids students, staff, and volunteers will join our friends from the Washington Outdoor Adventures (WOA) Meetup Group, for a fall outing. This year, we will gather on Saturday, November 14 to hike Dickey's Ridge in Shenandoah National Park.​​

​

WOA is helping Wilderness Kids to build its gear library this year. Often our students do not have the basic gear they need to enjoy a day of hiking, regardless of weather. We've surveyed our students and families and the items most needed to venture outdoors this year are:

​

• Rain Gear (jackets and pants in sizes from adult small to adult large)

• Outdoor Shoes - these could be crocs for venturing in the water; or trail runners for moving along slick, muddy, or rocky trail. Sizes between women's 7 and men's 11. 

​​

You can also make a secure gift of cash online to help us purchase gear and clothing that is of use to our students. Thanks for your generosity!

​

Thank you so much to our Event Sponsors eXurb Fitness and Nelson Intelligence Solutions!

​

Please reach out to Jerry at jerry@wildernesskidsalexandria.org or Bryan Smalley, of WOA, at bryan.smalley19@gmail.com for more information or to RSVP.​

​

All proceeds raised on the day, or in advance in honor of the day, will go toward helping Wilderness Kids to get more teens outside more often.​​

Thanks so much!
