Hiking Club: Darkness Falls

ACE Kids K-12 / Get Moving -
Fall 2025

Get outdoors and enjoy the natural world as the daylight fades. Led by an experienced guide, you’ll set out on nearby hiking adventures that will hyper-engage your senses. We’ll use headlamps, hiking poles, and our wits to conquer terrain that slowly becomes invisible as the sun sets.

Tuesday: Pickup & Drop Off: Gibbs students should look for the van at 3:00 pm. It takes 15–20 minutes to get from Gibbs to Ottoson. Ottoson students pickup time will be between 3:15–3:20pm.

Thursday: Pickup & Drop Off: OMS students should look for the van at 3:00 pm.

Note: Sturdy walking shoes, layers including a sweater and a raincoat, water, and a snack are mandatory. We will supply backpacks, headlamps, and poles for those who want them.
