FITNESS & WELLNESS
Join us this late October and throughout November as we explore the many opportunities for healthy outdoor nutrition and seasonal, speedy meals at home.
Food is probably the number one thing hikers think about while on the trail, but it is not always the most thought out. Making sure you have enough food and the right kind of food can play a huge part in making or breaking your adventure. Join nutrition and fitness coach Jen, as she teaches you how to make easy, yet nutritionally sound, trail snacks and speedy, healthy seasonal meals at home! We are offering food/hike combo outings as well as nutritious and delicious, recipe-only classes. Something for everyone!
Sign up today for one of our many nutrition-based classes and outings!
