Mission:
To provide hands-on experiential environmental education and multi-cultural programs for children and adults through our school year programs and Summer camps. We seek to achieve this through connecting children with their food sources on the farm and through wilderness activities that we lead on our extensive trail system. Our Summer programs offer a similar variety of opportunities and activities to our diverse population of campers and staff.
