Every Child Deserves the Opportunity to Explore, Play & Connect with Nature

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, wonder, and benefits of outdoor play and nature-based learning. That’s why we created our In-House Subsidy Fund to help families facing financial barriers access our programs.

Regardless of socioeconomic status, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, language, or ability, every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, explore, and build a meaningful connection with the natural world.

We rely on the generosity of our community to make this possible. 100% of your financial contribution goes directly toward registration fees for families who need financial assistance, ensuring that cost doesn't stand in the way of a child's opportunity to participate.

When children develop a genuine connection with nature, they grow into people who value, respect, and care for the world around them. By helping more children experience the outdoors, we're not only enriching their childhoods but also nurturing the next generation of environmental stewards.

Together, we can remove financial barriers, create opportunities for every child, and help build a brighter, more connected future for generations to come.

Thank you for being part of making outdoor learning accessible to all.
