Our goals:

• To encourage parents to get outside with their kids, and meet other parents who do the same
• To instill in our children a love of adventures in the natural world

OutdoorDads hikes once a month from April to November. Hikes are typically 2-3 miles long at the most with minimal elevation gain, we go at a very modest pace, and are within a 45 minute drive of Portland. While primarily a group for dads, all outings are open to both dads and moms. We’re mostly geared for kids from 3 months to 5 years, but all ages are welcome. OutdoorDads is an informal group, and we want to keep it that way. There’s no membership fees, applications or waivers. Participants pay only for personal expenses related to a particular trip (typically US Forest Service parking fees, park entrance costs, etc.)
