Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide children from diverse backgrounds with a holistic, joyful, child-centered learning experience in nature, that fosters social and emotional skills, as well as independence and responsibility.

Use of Funding

Scholarships & Subsidized Cost - We serve families of all income levels, and expand access to quality, outdoor programming. Multiple scholarships are provided for each session of Elements Nature Program. A subsidized option in our sliding scale cost also helps us to remove income as a barrier to quality education.

Programming - Our knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled educators (guides), are integral in carrying out our mission. Programming expenses include salaries and other overhead such as rent and insurance, as well as curriculum materials, and quality children’s literature. Your donation supports existing programs as well as the development of new programs.
