MAY Walks

Spring is in the air. Let’s break out in sync with the overstory and stride in style with Mama Nature. Join the Elements DC for a few hours of unique, local adventure. We will get outside, active and grounded and send you back ready to tackle the 'to do's'.

• In recognition of all the heroes working tirelessly to heal our community, the proceeds from the Elements Spring OUTings will be donated to Families4FamiliesDMV

• $25/walker -
