HIKING CLUB
Start your Wednesday mornings on the trail! This CS Outdoor Adventure Hiking Club takes students to Sabino Canyon each week for refreshing hikes surrounded by desert scenery, flowing creeks, and mountain views. Students will build endurance, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the outdoors while hiking with friends in a supportive, encouraging environment. Each hike focuses on safe trail skills, awareness of the Sonoran Desert, and enjoying time outside before the school day begins.
No prior hiking experience is needed—just comfortable shoes, water, and a sense of adventure. A detailed packing list will be emailed out before the start of class. We will return to campus by 9:15am each week, ensuring students are back at school on time and ready for the day.
