Meadowlark Kids is a nature kids club where kids and parents enjoy getting outside, being active, and learning about nature, conservation, and environmental topics.

The club focuses on: 

  • Family hikes at rotating locations in and around Lincoln (most weeks during April - September)

  • Monthly nature-based learning programs 

  • Resources for inspiring kids to be environmental stewards

The club is intended for Lincoln families interested in being active outside with their family, learning about nature, and connecting with other kindred families. The group aims to be a fun and relaxed environment of support and mutual interest. 

This group is based in Lincoln, Nebraska. Families have the opportunity to explore different parks and nature locales throughout Lincoln and surrounding areas with the club during the warmer months.

Hiking & Nature Learning

 

Hikes are scheduled most weeks with some off weeks due to the organizer's schedule. Upcoming hikes are posted on the website and in the monthly newsletter. RSVP for hikes is encouraged, but not required. It is helpful for us to know how many kids and adults to expect to prepare for attendance and activities.

*Important note: Hiking poses inherent health and safety risks. Parents or responsible adults are required to supervise their children during the hikes and activities. Parents assume full responsibility for children's safety. Meadowlark Kids Club is not responsible for any injuries or health issues.

About Meadowlark Kids Club

Our Story

Jannah Vanie is from Lincoln, Nebraska and lives here with her husband, two daughters, and two cats. Her family loves outdoor activities (especially hiking), nature, and science. Jannah had the idea to start Meadowlark Kids Club as a way to more intentionally get outside to hike with her girls, explore all the great natural spaces Lincoln has to offer, connect with other nature-curious families, and get kids even more excited about nature, the environment, and conservation.
