Hi everyone! I'm not sure this is the best board for my questions, but it seemed the closest fit.

We will hike closeby after school, or, on a special occasion, we will travel 45ish minutes on a Saturday to hike on the MD AT, for a little bit of a longer hike. We do not have buses/vans, so the children will be driving separately (via their parents). I'm wondering if there are any schools out there that have hiking clubs, because I'm looking for any help I can get. I have a lot of hiking experience, am CPR certified, and Wilderness First Aid Certified. I've never taked a group out though, so any help would be appreciated, any ideas for topics to cover, any ideas of guidelines to have (ex: if there is a hiker behind or in front wanting to pass, we will stop, step to the side, and let them pass). Thanks sooo much!!
