How We Got Started
For decades, there have been countless organizations throughout Arizona dedicated to getting children reconnected with nature. These stand-alone programs provide one-off experiences, but they don’t encourage continuous, diverse forms of outdoor engagement. We’re left with hundreds of disconnected programs, which makes it difficult for families to continue exploring new experiences.
Our goal: To create an organization that brings all these programs together, creating a calendar that offers a centralized resource for outdoor programs.
