Outdoor Adventure 

 HG is uniquely qualified to host your children because we have over ten years of experience taking inner city children on the hiking trails of East Bay Regional Parks from Concord to Oakland.

We have experienced naturalist of Color who have been working and hiking the trails of the Bay Area over ten years, strong school and neighborhood partnerships, and programming that increases the use of nature-rich spaces by City kids. 

HG provides transportation to and from outdoor adventure programming. 

Students will engage with lessons that increase their awareness of the geography, ecology, and habitat that live within the East Bay Regional Parks.
