Fun Hiking Ideas for Hikes with Teens

By , About.com Guide

Telling your teen to 'go take a hike' isn’t necessarily a bad thing – when you’re talking about walking outdoors! Use these ideas for fun teen hikes for groups of teens at camps, as a teen party idea or even if you have just a few teens to entertain outside.

1. Make a Nature Sculpture Hike

This teen hike idea has everything a teen enjoys: gum, social time with friends and just enough grossness to make the activity interesting.

2. Blind Hike

This hike is a great activity if you want to teach your group of teens about trust.

3. Nature's Texture Artwork Hike

There are textures in nature everywhere. Wait until you see the beautiful artwork teens can make using nature's textures.

4. Glowing Eyes Night Hike

Spooky nighttime flashlight hike that teens enjoy almost as much as they enjoy all of the stories they have to tell the next day.

5. Singing in the Rain Hike

A summer rain storm is the perfect time to take camping teens for a hike to help beat the heat. Add a song for even more fun.
