Don't be afraid. I assume you will be with other people. Most of the trails have quite a few people on them, and there is little risk. The scenery is beautiful. If you go to Sliding Rock you will have a great time, better than any water park. Just be sensible and do what the adults tell you and you will be fine.
Take bug spray and drinking water and have a great time!

Don't be scared. Won't you be with other people? I'm assuming you're going with others who know what they're doing and can take control if something bad does happen (which odds are, it won't). People do die hiking, but it's pretty rare and it usually happens to people that take unnecessary risks or are intoxicated.
Have fun, enjoy the weather and exercise. No need to worry.
