Outdoor Education
We offer outdoor education through the Wilderness Education Association’s standards. Our community can learn the fundamentals of outdoor living and responsible ecological stewardship through the W.E.A.'s 6+1 curriculum.
Breaking Barriers
We listen. Using the knowledge we gain from local stakeholders, we dismantle barriers to access within our programs and to our local natural spaces. We believe the benefits of nature exposure belong to all people!
