Grandparent and Grandchild Hiking Club

On April 19, 2025, families, especially grandparents and their grandchildren, are cordially invited to the first meeting of the Jeffersonville Township Public Library Grandparent and Grandchild Hiking Club. This FREE club is specially designed for the needs of grandparents and their grandchildren, providing an opportunity to combine light exercise for the whole family with fun social and literacy activities. Every month from February through November, we will choose a Clark or Floyd County trail that’s accessible to those using wheelchairs and strollers. We’ll give special priority to trails that are near playgrounds and story walks so those inclined can play while those who wish for a rest can cool their heels and socialize. During a break from hiking, library staff will entertain families with story time. While grandparents and grandchildren are especially encouraged to attend, the program is open to all families with children. Our first meeting will take place in Clarksville at 10 a.m. on April 19, 2025 at Discovery Trail’s Eastern Boulevard parking lot. We’ll walk to Ray Lawrence Park, rest and play a bit, eat our snacks during story time, and walk back to the parking lot. Every month thereafter, club meetings will take place at 10 a.m. on the second Saturday of the month, April through November. Venues will change regularly. Check the library events calendar or call the library desk to learn of each month’s venue.

Please wear appropriate weather gear and comfortable shoes. Participants should bring their own water and snacks. In the event of a cancelation, registered participants will be contacted via email and phone.
