Youth Hikes
More Green Time, Less Screen Time!
Guineafowl Adventure Company provides experience-based outdoor learning that can be adapted to fit any age, experience, or fitness level. The goals of our programming are to build an individual and communal awareness and appreciation of nature, the wilderness, and the outdoors while fostering strength, social engagement, and a healthy awareness for how to recreate responsibly by learning Leave No Trace practices and principles.
For a long time, research has shown how impactful getting into nature can be for kids and teens. Now even more than ever, with technology taking most of our adolescents’ time, disconnecting and shifting perspective from a screen to the great outdoors is extraordinarily beneficial.
We help to foster a stronger connection to nature and create bonds with outdoor activities that will engage children, adolescents and teens to spend more time outdoors exploring as they continue to grow. During these sessions, we provide fundamental understanding of Leave No Trace principles and practices and how to apply in both the back- and front-country.
Are you looking for a unique, outdoor experience for your school-age children during April Vacation? In partnership with Acera School, Guineafowl Adventure Co is offering full-day guided hikes in the White Mountains. For information and pricing, click here.

Youth Program Testimonial
"We at Acera School have been beyond happy with the Outdoor Exploration program that Guineafowl Adventure has brought to our school. Dave has crafted a cohesive & thoughtful curriculum based on Leave No Trace principles and has brought groups of students in grades 4-6 and 7-11 on hikes every week. Students grew their awareness and appreciation of nature, as well as their self-confidence to succeed in challenging outdoor environments. The class culminated in an exciting final hike up in the White Mountains, which every student was well equipped to complete, and everyone had a blast! Students reflected on their experience through writing, photography, and even a creative rap about how to be a respectful hiker. We're really happy with the program so far and would highly recommend them to anyone!"
We're here for the next generation
