This year’s Big A$$ Hike & Cookout brought out a lot of new hikers as we hit the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail! 🥾
After the hike, we enjoyed some good food, checked out the vendors, played volleyball and other games, and just had a great day relaxing in the park.
Thanks to everyone who came out and spent the day with us! We hope you enjoyed yourself, met someone new, and maybe even made a new hiking buddy along the way.
Until the next adventure! 💚

I love when we get the opportunity to teach our young folks some basic bushcraft and outdoor survival skills! Today, we spent the morning with 24 young people from the Alexandria-Mt. Vernon Chapter of Jack & Jill of America, Inc.
They learned the basics of emergency preparedness, how to build an emergency shelter using ponchos, and how to start a fire using ferro rods. 🔥🏕️
This was a great group of teens who were eager to learn and weren’t afraid to get hands-on. We hope everyone walked away with some new skills, a little more confidence in the outdoors, and maybe even a newfound love for being in the woods.
Most importantly, they learned a few skills that could help them survive in the woods if they ever needed them.
Teaching the next generation how to enjoy the outdoors AND be prepared while doing it! 💪🏾
