Steps That Strengthen Community

**FREE COMMUNITY HIKES. OPEN TO ALL.**

We’ve Come a Long Way—And We’re Just Getting Started

The Hiking Project, in partnership with Mason Transit Authority, is building community through accessible, family-friendly hikes.

Our mission is simple: help families unplug from screens, reconnect with nature, and feel confident exploring the outdoors together. Inspired by Forest Therapy and guided by our motto, “Hike Your Own Hike,” we focus on slowing down, breathing deep, and enjoying the journey—at every pace.

We’re thrilled to launch the 2026 Hiking Expedition — and we’re adding a fun twist!

Pick up a punch card at the Shelton Family YMCA, join the hikes, and collect stamps to earn a backpack full of goodies. Watch for mystery scavenger hunt stamps and surprise prizes all year long.

Sign up today, grab your stamp card, and hike along with us—or get involved as a volunteer and share your ideas!
