Double click on the text box to start editing your content and make sure to add all the relevant details you want to share with site visitors. Kids Who Explore Community Agreement and Waiver Our Community Agreement Kids Who Explore was started by a pregnant hiking mom in the Canadian Rockies who believed that parenthood and adventure could grow together. What began on a single trail has grown into a global social enterprise powered by outdoor parents who bring families together to connect, to heal, and to raise children who feel at home in nature. Our community is more than hikes. It is a place for mental health support, postpartum healing, and lasting friendships. We are families helping families discover the outdoors, build confidence, and find joy in raising the next generation of explorers. Kids Who Explore is a choose your own adventure community. Our groups often move at different paces on the trail because hiking with small children looks different for every family. We are not a guiding service and do not provide guided tours. Our team and volunteers facilitate connection at the trailhead or in the outdoors, helping families find one another and build community. As a Kids Who Explore member, you commit to the following values: Welcome with Openness: Come as you are. Keep an open heart and mind. Be curious about others’ perspectives and honor that each family has its own story. Share Authentically: Our roots are in parents who were honest about postpartum struggles, mental health, and rediscovering themselves outdoors. Share your truth, knowing that authenticity builds trust and connection. Lead with Kindness: Parenting is an adventure with highs and lows. A kind word or simple act of support can make all the difference. Our community is the first to offer encouragement, to share a snack, or to hand over the wipes to a parent who forgot them. These small moments of care remind us that we are in this together. Practice Respect: Discrimination, harassment, or judgment are not tolerated. Respect differences, respect families, and respect the land we gather on. Support All Families: Kids Who Explore is a choose your own adventure community. Families connect at the trailhead and then hike in the way that works best for them. With babies, toddlers, and children of different ages, groups naturally spread out and everyone moves at their own pace. No one is responsible for waiting for another family, and each parent is responsible for themselves and their children. Our goal is to create accessible and affordable events so all families feel welcome to join, no matter their pace or stage of adventure. Use Your Voice: Our community is powered by parents speaking up for inclusivity and kindness. Share your voice, listen with care, and help keep Kids Who Explore safe and welcoming for all. Online Community: Our digital spaces, including our website, groups, and social media, are extensions of our mission. Share stories, resources, and encouragement that support families outdoors. Harmful or unsafe content may be removed to protect the integrity of our community. In-Person Gatherings: Our hikes and family meet ups are the heartbeat of Kids Who Explore. Together we create positive and safe experiences by: Staying Together in Spirit: If one family needs to pause, we pause together when possible. But we also recognize that hiking with kids means moving at different paces. It is natural for groups to spread out, and every family is encouraged to go at the pace that works for them. Starting in Community: Events begin with introductions so families feel welcomed and connected. Creating Judgment-Free Spaces: Families parent in different ways. We replace judgment with encouragement. Caring for Nature: We model stewardship for our children by following Leave No Trace principles. Prioritizing Safety: Every family is responsible for packing the Ten Essentials when heading into the backcountry and for taking proper precautions outdoors. Safety is our top priority. By participating, you agree to uphold these commitments, respect other families, and take responsibility for your own safety and that of your children. Kids Who Explore reserves the right to revoke membership if these standards are not upheld.
