Smoke & Davey Trail
Smithville Lake
KC Area Event
130-330 PM CDT

Ready to let the kids go a little wild in the woods?
Spring Break is here, and it’s time to get the kids out of the house and onto the trail!
If you’re looking for a way to burn off that extra energy and keep the "I’m bored" blues away, join us for a high-energy hike designed just for our 5 to 8 year old explorers. This is the perfect "first trail" adventure.
We’ll be powering through the woods on a mission to see how much magic is hiding along the path. As we hike, we’ll use our binoculars to spy on the feathered neighbors chatting way up high and keep our eyes peeled for every secret find on our scavenger list. From mimicking bird calls to spotting tiny treasures under the leaves, every step is a "Look at that!" moment. It’s a time for pure discovery, and the best part? They’ll be so busy exploring, they won't even realize they're getting a workout!
Each junior explorer will receive:
-
Wilderness Fuel (grab bag of treats - parents please verify ingredients for food allergies before consumption)
-
Wilderness Explorer Kit
-
"I Spy" Scavenger List
-
Drawstring backpack
Requirements:
-
Adults are free: For insurance purposes, an adult must be present with their children during the entire hike. For the most part, you will just be enjoying the fresh air and forest while I lead our wild ones! However, your presence is required in case they want or need you. Feel free to bring your binoculars as well.

Waivers are required for this event.

Sturdy shoes or hiking boots suggested

-
A beautiful diamond paint mosaic

Grounding Under a Sunset Sky
Sunset Grounding Hill Hangout
Thursday, April 2, 2026
Sedgwick County Park
Wichita, Ks
715-815PM CDT
Free
We’re taking over the park’s highest dirt pile to grab a seat and simply watch the horizon catch fire!
This is about getting your shoes, hands and bum in the dirt, facing West, and sinking into the earth as the sky goes wild.
When you actually sit in the dirt and let the day’s noise drop away, the world starts talking. As the fire of the sun dips and the air cools, there’s a deeper rhythm that shows up, a quiet wisdom that only arrives when you finally stop moving. It’s a playful, high-energy pause to revive your spirit, reset your mind, and just soak in the "wow" of it all before the moon takes the stage.
Find your spot on the hill, settle in, and let the transition do the work.
I'll see you in the wild!

Recruiting Inner Warriors for: Mission "Enter the Wild"
Warriors Ready to Rise and Warriors Who Don't Know They're Warriors Yet!
Starting from ground zero isn’t easy. I know, because I’ve been there. When I was at my lowest point, people only saw my physical limitations, my weight, and my medical hurdles. They just assumed I wasn’t capable.
You know what they say about assuming!
Forget what anyone else thinks. Forget the limitations they tried to put on you. Badass Beginnings is a mission to reclaim your life. This is a series for the inner warrior who's tired of sitting on the sidelines and tired of hearing "you can’t do it." It’s for the part of you that is ready to rise wildly. You are not alone. Your fight matters. It’s time to let the world hear your warrior cry!
This is a beginner-friendly hike designed for new hikers and anyone standing at their own ground zero. It's a place to build strength, endurance, confidence and connection with other souls on the same mission. We begin together and we succeed together. No one is left behind. Your pace doesn't matter. Your past doesn't matter. Only your will matters!
Your trail starts here.
About your recruiter:
I'm a survivor who looked ground zero in the face and chose the wild instead. After fighting through health setbacks and limitations, I reclaimed my power and took back my life. I’m not just a guide; I’m you. And I'm so honored to support you on your mission!
I'll see you in the wild!
The $11 is a symbolic commitment to Mission "Enter the Wild"
11 is the number of awakening, alignment, and new beginnings.
It marks your first step into the wild — a declaration that you’re ready to rise.
