Come adventure with us and find your family's outdoor community
We plan it. You just show up. A team of Bay Area moms scouts the trails, handles the logistics and guides the day. Your kids run wild, make friends and uncover incredible treasures in nature, alongside other adventure-loving families.
What we do
Camping, kayaking, caving, caving, horseback riding, sailing, hiking and more! We tailor outings for families with kids of all ages, including babies and toddlers.
We organize and lead the adventures so busy parents don’t have to! We find the unique places, we make the plan so the whole family will have fun, make friends and learn about the cool critters, trees and plants that call our area home.
We arrange discounts with vendors and organize meals with local eateries to make these adventures even easier and more affordable for families. Plus, you get a chance to sample some awesome local food!
See a few adventure we are pointing families to right now below. The rest of the season is one click away.
Why families keep coming back
Every logistic, handled
Permits, parking, tide tables, the bathroom situation, the bail-out plan if a toddler melts down. You get a packing checklist and a meeting point.
Built for the actual ages
Dwarf apple trees the littles can reach. Shoreline kayak routes with no open-water crossings. Difficulty and stroller notes on every listing.
More than a small business: a community
Every kind of family is welcome: moms, dads, grandparents, siblings and more join our adventures. Adventures often end with a group meal or a beach picnic, and families often keep the friendship going with birthday parties, playdates and more with friends made on the trail.
Every tenth family joins us free
For every 10 families who sign up for a day trip, we welcome one family at no cost. It’s aimed at lower-income families and it runs on the honor system — we don’t check income. Priority goes to families who’ve never joined us before.
We’re a team of moms aiming to make getting outdoors easier for families. We handle the planning and the guiding so you can just show up with your family and enjoy. Looking for a newt nursery? A ladybug convention? A banana slug bonanza? We scout the adventures, find the hidden gems and the cool critters so you don’t have to.
