Support Hike it Baby: Empowering Families through Community-Led Outdoor Adventures.

In 2024, OutGrown supported 300 Outside Guides to host ~1,000 outings that served thousands of families across North America and Canada. Our website has ~ 6,000 registered members who use the site to find events, explore 1,750 places entered in our Family Trail Guide, read our blogs, download our resources, and participate in 4 seasonal, virtual events each year, all to build community and make memories with their families. We do this all free of charge for our members, which means we rely on your donations to allow us to continue.
