Mini Mountaineers

Mini Mountaineers is designed to get kiddos ages 2-5 and an accompanying adult interacting with nature together, fostering a love for the outdoors in the next generation. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, babysitters, friends...let us do the planning to get you and your little one outside together with fellow outdoorsy families!

We host up to three events a month during the school year-- a meet up for a nature walk, a hands-on nature-based activity at the Seattle Program Center, and a climb night. Families are invited to attend as many of these activities as they'd like and as work with their schedules. 

At local parks, we will listen for birds, splash in a creek, play in the sand, look for bugs,...and enjoy being surrounded by nature! At The Mountaineers Seattle Program Center, we have a different educational theme each month, such as leaves falling, snow, and colors in nature. Join us for activities, crafts, and stories relating to each theme to make learning fun. During our climb nights, accompanying adults will have the chance to learn how to belay, while kiddos can both rope climb and boulder on our climbing walls. 

Although exact dates might fluctuate, expect meet-ups to be on Tuesdays from 10am-12pm, walks in the park to be Saturdays from 10am-12pm, and climb nights to be Thursdays from 4pm-6pm. Families will be able to register for each activity that they'd like to attend, so please aware that you will not be automatically signed up for each activity upon registration.
