Trackers
Weekend hiking adventures for children
Urban to Wild Trackers aims to lead children beyond the city and onto nature trails of the UAE.
Led by ECC Adventures facilitators, qualified outdoor instructors and mountain guides appropriate to the activity, each hike combines physical challenge, outdoor learning and real mountain experience.
What your kids will learn:
Children learn how to move confidently over uneven terrain, manage their equipment, follow a route, support their group and make responsible decisions outdoors. Along the way, they discover the landscapes, wildlife, geology and cultural history of the Hajar Mountains.
Progression pathway: Beginning with accessible trails before moving towards longer and more challenging adventures young participants can work towards Urban to Wild Waymarks by completing:
● Two Beginner hikes
● Two Intermediate hikes
● One Intermediate+ or Advanced hike
Trackers’ activities are available as individual hikes, multi-hike packs and term memberships. Shared transport and a snack box may be included according to the selected booking option.
