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.

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.
