Mission

Our mission is to help youth and adults cultivate healthy relationships with nature, community and self. Through nature connection and cultural mentoring, we provide transformational experiences that awaken people's unique gifts, deepen their relationship with nature, and empower them to enrich the health of their communities. While most of the youth for our programs come from King County in Washington State, our adults come from throughout the US and worldwide. Many of our adults students have gone on to start their own schools throughout the US and internationally.
