Who We Are

Marion Trail Guides is a continuation program of the Marion Adventure Guides. Where YMCA Adventure Guides leaves off after 3rd grade, Trail Guides continues for boys and girls grades 4 through 7.  

Marion Trail Guides is affiliated with the Marion YMCA (Cedar Rapids - Marion YMCA).

What We Do

Trail Guides organizes one family activity a month (most months of the year), with the emphasis on encouraging parent/child activity time. Both Moms and Dads are welcome, and most family activities are open to children of all ages.

Our typical activies have included:

  • Maquoketa Caves - Caving and Campout
  • Canoe Float and Campout
  • Roller Skating and Pizza Party
  • Swamp Fox Parade
  • Horseback Riding
  • Winter Campout at Camp Wapsi
  • Picnic / Swimming / Fishing

With the older children, we have dropped the circle meetings, vests and beads of the Adventure Guides program.
