We are kicking off May WenOut Kids Thursdays with

We are kicking off May WenOut Kids Thursdays with a lineup specifically designed to help your little ones burn off that extra afternoon energy. Every Thursday this month from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM, we’re heading to different local spots to explore, move, and discover the wonders of our own backyard.

From hiking up the foothills and biking through the trees to exploring the riverfront, these sessions are all about high-energy fun and hands-on discovery. We’ll be peering through microscopes with @wenymca to find hidden worlds and hitting the trails to get those legs moving. It’s the perfect mid-week opportunity for kids to unplug, let loose, and engage their natural curiosity alongside some of our favorite community partners and board members.

Getting involved is easy—just be sure to hop over to wenatcheeoutdoors.org/events to sign the required outings waiver and get the full details on where to meet us each week. Grab the sneakers and the sunblock, and let’s make this May a month of wild adventures and muddy knees. We can’t wait to see your family out there!

Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for last

Huge thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s outing! 🥾📚

We had a fantastic time exploring the new StoryWalk by the @cdlandtrust .

It was wonderful to see so many families and eager young hikers hitting the trail to combine a little exercise with a great story. We loved trekking the Old Butte trail from the Jacobson Trailhead—clocking in about 1.6 miles and soaking up those spring views.

Thank you for making our local landscapes so vibrant and fun! This week's WenOut Kids Thursdays will meet at Pybus Market and will walk or ride bikes to Walla Walla Park and back. Don't forget to sign up! Link in bio.

Afternoon Fun at Rocky Reach!

We had such an incredible WenOut Kids Thursday afternoon at the @visitrockyreach last week!

The session kicked off with an awesome visit from James Webber of the Chelan PUD. James led the kids through an engaging discussion about how we harness the wind to create energy. It was so cool to see the kids getting curious about the science behind the breeze!

After the talk, we shifted gears from wind to water. We tapped into our creative sides by painting fish and making beautiful fish prints. To wrap up a great afternoon, we headed out to the playground to soak up the sun and burn off some energy. It was a fantastic session of learning, art, and community play!

🥾 Join us this week!
Ready for our next adventure? Come along this Thursday as we explore Old Butte via the Jacobson Trailhead!

The Plan: We’ll be hiking the Old Butte trail (approx. 1.6 miles round trip with 200-400ft elevation gain) and reading the storyboards along the way.

Special Guest: We are excited to have Jenise, a Wenatchee Outdoors volunteer, join us to lead a discussion about nature journaling during the hike!

Bring your curiosity (and maybe a notebook!) and let’s hit the trail together.

This year, Wenatchee Outdoors is excited to partner with @confluencehealth for the Apple Blossom Run, a beloved community tradition that celebrates movement, connection, and joy for all. Whether you’re running, walking, rolling, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, this event is designed so everyone belongs.

Join us on Saturday, May 2nd!

The Apple Blossom Run offers 5K and 10K distances for both community members and high school students, providing a perfect opportunity to get outside and move together. We’re also passionate about getting the next generation involved, which is why the 2K Kids’ Fun Run is completely free for students in grades 1–8. From competitive runners to families, this event is all about celebrating our community in motion.

Want to volunteer? DM us to sign up for a shift.

We are thrilled to announce a fresh partnership with @iciclebrewing to help keep our local trails thriving! Throughout the months of April, May, and June, our "wild backyard" gets a little extra love with every pour. For every pint of Enchantments beer purchased at the brewery, Icicle Brewing will donate $1 directly to Wenatchee Outdoors. It is a fantastic way to enjoy a local favorite while contributing to the community resources, maps, and advocacy that keep us all moving through the beautiful terrain of North Central Washington.

To kick off this collaboration, we invite you to join us this Wednesday for "Trail Tales," an open-mic storytelling night dedicated to our shared outdoor adventures. Whether you have a legendary story of being humbled by the Enchantments, a hilarious account of a gear failure, or a memory of a perfect morning in the North Cascades, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to grab the mic for a five-minute highlight, share a drink with fellow hikers and bikers, and vote for your favorite story of the night. (Storytelling encouraged yet optional)

This gathering is about more than just swapping post-run reports; it’s about turning our collective experiences into "trail magic" for WenOut. Every dollar raised during the evening goes right back into supporting the trails you love. Come ready to toast to the upcoming season, connect with the outdoor community, and share the stories that make our region so special.

We hope to see you there!
