Youth today are more likely to be disconnected from nature and community than ever before. This disconnect compromises childhood wellbeing and development.

Supporting the Outdoor Education Center means supporting equitable access to nature, hands-on science learning, and improved childhood wellbeing.

We believe that student-centered, community-based, outdoor learning generates curiosity, joy, and critical-thinking skills that are crucial for impactful learning! Learning with peers and positive role-models in nature builds connection and compassion that support youth development and improve wellbeing for all of us.
