welcoming Amber back to Estep and launching her new fitness class at the same time. Stroller
Fitness will meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. beginning on November 4 (no

Stroller Fitness was created to offer parents of young children the opportunity to become
more active in their lifestyle. Involving the child in the class helps to set a good example for the
Family about fitness and allows for bonding through physical and emotional interaction. The
goal is to offer a workout for the parent ranging from cardio to muscular strength using the
stroller as an aid.
This one hour class will vary from day to day with specific exercises and location.
Children under the age of 13 are not permitted at Estep, therefore we will be showcasing other
facilities within the Fort Campbell community, as well as the great outdoors.
Parent must provide their own stroller and child – this is a BYOB (Bring Your Own
Baby) class.

ODR Adventure Programs is offering a Rough & Tough Hiking Tour
Do you love to be outside? If the answer is yes, then you should join Outdoor Recreation
Adventure Programs for the Rough & Tough Hiking Tour. The Rough & Tough Hiking Tour is
a series of hikes designed to get adventurous souls out into some of the most wild and beautiful
country in the area. Outdoor Recreation staff will be leading these long strenuous hikes over
rough terrain into remote areas where you will see old-growth trees, waterfalls, caves, cliffs,
vistas, and wilderness. The hikes are open to ages 12 and above, the cost is $30 per hike
(includes transportation), and you must preregister by 4 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the hike.
Departure times and return times will vary.
There are six hikes planned, three in the spring and three in the fall. Participants who
complete all six hikes will receive a “Hiking Tour” t-shirt (additional shirts will be available for
purchase).
• October 25 – Fiery Gizzard, 13 miles.
• November 22 – Walls of Jericho, 9 miles.
Participants should be physically capable of long distance hiking at a brisk pace and be geared
properly with sturdy footwear, food and water as well as properly dressed for the weather
conditions.

Recreation Adventure Programs at (270) 412-7854; for registration please call the main Outdoor
