Youth Hiking Program

The Sydenham Bruce Trail Club (SBTC) Youth Hiking Program creates opportunities for families, children, and youth up to age 18 to explore the Bruce Trail via guided hikes, as well as resources for youth, families and youth-focused organizations to explore the Trail independently.

Time spent in nature is an affordable way for families to spend time together. There are many public spaces and trails within the Sydenham Bruce Trail section (including within Owen Sound) that provide a chance to explore the outdoors, and can be accessed for free on foot. Time spent in nature also fosters well-being, most notably in youth. Outdoor experiences help to build fitness, resilience, and confidence.

This program has been made possible by a grant from Community Foundation Grey Bruce.

The Youth Hiking Program will be officially “launched” on Bruce Trail Day, October 6, in Harrison Park Owen Sound, at the Sydenham Club canopy tent.


Please see the Youth Hiking Program page for more information.
