Franklin Road Academy: Hiking

This outdoor camp at Franklin Road Academy gives kids ages five through fourteen a chance to get outside and actually move — hiking trails and exploring natural environments rather than sitting in a classroom. It's a solid pick for families who want their kids spending summer afternoons in the fresh air, discovering what's around them on foot. The camp runs one week, July 6–10, with afternoon sessions from noon to 3:00 p.m., which works nicely if you need mornings free or are combining it with another program. At $225 for the week, it's one of the more affordable outdoor options you'll find in Nashville, especially for a school-based program with a real outdoor focus. Franklin Road Academy sits in the south Nashville area off Franklin Road, making it convenient for families in Green Hills, Forest Hills, and Brentwood. Families also explore Franklin Road Academy: Safari Camp, Franklin Road Academy: Geo Explorers, and Franklin Road Academy: Adventure Awaits for similar outdoor discovery options at the same campus.
