Whitefish Trail Youth Programs
The Whitefish Trail offers a variety of natural interpretive programs and outdoor recreation activities for youth designed to bring students and nature together while increasing awareness of the natural world. The importance of children spending time in nature cannot be over-emphasized – not only does it lead to positive impacts on health and well-being, it also greatly increases the development of life-long environmental awareness.

2025 Forest Explorers Camp
Whitefish Legacy Partners’ Forest Explorers Camp offers a unique opportunity for kids ages 7-11 to explore the Whitefish Trail during a 4-day camp. Campers enjoy fun-filled days with hikes, arts activities, and games while connecting with the natural world and meeting new friends. Whether learning about forest critters, building fairy houses, or capturing the views in a painting, campers learn about the animals and ecosystems that surround them through creativity, play, and exploration.
Campers may only initially register for one week of camp. Please get on the waitlist if you are interested in another week of camp. Cost is $150. Scholarships are available!
