TRAIL KIDS RVA
A 501(c)3 non-profit community providing free hikes, outdoor programs, and resources to encourage families and kids of all ages in the Richmond, VA area to get outside
Raising Richmond Outdoors
Trail Kids RVA was founded in 2023 by a group of parents with a passion for the outdoors and over a decade of combined experience leading family hikes in the Richmond, VA area.
​​
Powered by the caregivers that volunteer, Trail Kids RVA offers a welcoming, non-judgmental space where any parent or caregiver who wants to prioritize outdoor time for their family can draw from the wealth of knowledge that this community has. We are lucky to have a group of passionate, engaged parents and caregivers who cheer each other on. If you have questions about how to get started hiking with kids, which carrier to use, where to find a good swimming hole in your part of town, or want some tips on how to prevent meltdowns on the trail, join our Facebook group and follow us on Instagram.
​
Another core function of Trail Kids RVA is to promote and support other local groups and businesses that align with our goals of getting families outside. Our community partnership program is what sets Trail Kids RVA apart from other hiking groups, as we actively foster connections between nature and family-focused groups and our members.
FREE HIKES AND OUTDOOR PROGRAMS

CONNECTING FAMILIES

We are 100% volunteer run and funded
Trail Kids RVA is run by volunteer parents and caregivers who generously donate their time and energy to offer these programs to the community. One of the most significant barriers preventing people from accessing green spaces is access fees and transportation costs. Your financial support goes a long way to increasing access to the outdoors, and even the smallest gifts can be life-changing.
