Starting in late 2017, we started working on the organization, fundraising, and planning initial programs to get kids outdoors and back to nature. Plan to launch John Muir Boot Camp in Spring of 2018
Our Mission
Our mission is simple.... Making it easy and natural for kids to play outdoors and explore the natural world around them through local community programs.
“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
