My kids and I participated in this the year before last and had an absolute blast. The organizers do an excellent job of making things fun and exiciting for the kids. The naturalists are very knowledgeable (and friendly!). I hope to participate again this year!
Hey Chris, We are glad you had a blast. We did too. That’s why we are looking forward to another Xtreme Roan Adventures. We really hope you can make it and bring your friends. -‘see you on the mountain. – Ken and Larry
I have a 1 year old that I can “backpack” on any of the hikes. Am I allowed to bring her to the other programs? If so, do I need to register her and pay for her? Thanks!!!
