Forever Adventurers

Forever Adventurers is a welcoming group designed for those who enjoy the outdoors, good company, and an active lifestyle. As part of our Y programming, we meet once each month to explore local hiking trails, connect with fellow members, and enjoy the many physical and mental health benefits of spending time in nature.

Whether you're an experienced hiker or simply looking for a fun way to stay active, Forever Adventurers offers a supportive environment where members can enjoy scenic walks, discover new trails, and build lasting friendships. Each hike is paced to encourage participation, conversation, and enjoyment of the journey.

Our mission is simple: to help our members stay engaged, healthy, and forever young through adventure, movement, and community connection.

What to Expect:

  • Monthly (every 3rd Tuesday) group hikes on local trails
  • Opportunities to connect with fellow Y members
  • Fresh air, exercise, and beautiful scenery
  • A fun and supportive atmosphere for all skill levels
  • Healthy living through active recreation

Join Forever Adventurers and discover how every trail leads to new friendships, new experiences, and a healthier, more vibrant you. 🌲🥾☀️  See the FOREVERWELL bulletin board for more details.
