End of Fall

We had a great Fall here at Virginia Outside.  Lots of new programs and TONS of fun!


We introduced our new Preschool Enrichment programs, After school off-site mountain biking, and were jammed pack with Mountain Biking Enrichment programs!  




The preschool Program was a huge hit as we took turtles, fish, worms, crickets and lots of crafts to schools and ran a 6 week program with the kids! We also did scavenger hunts, nature walks and games!


The after school offsite mountain biking was a blast!  We hit the James River Park trails at Pony Pasture, Reedy Creek and Belle Isle and the kids loved it!  We had a great group of bikers and was great to see the kids enjoying the Park.  




The end of our on site Mtn Biking Enrichment programs are the most fun!  As we watch the kids grow week by week on the bikes and understand it a little more as the hours go by.  The last class is always everyone's favorite as we bring jumps and a balance beam for the kids to try out!



Another favorite this fall were our day programs when kids were out of school.  We offered a program on Columbus day as well as Voting Day!  We hit a couple private farms for fishing and mountain biking from 8:30-1:30.


We took a group of Collegiate School "Outdoor Club" students Fly Fishing this Fall in the Mountains!  We had a blast teaching them the basics and casting of fly fishing and then heading out to the river to put their skills to the test!  We all had a great time catching trout!

We had a wonderful time introducing some new programs and continuing others. Check back in January for updates on some new programs we have brewing!

Happy Holidays!
