The Mission of The Santa Cruz Kids In Nature Program is to foster enlivened and embodied children

through year long experiential forest based learning, playing, and exploration of local wildlands.

  

When these children truly feel like locals to the place in which they live, environmental stewardship grows into a joyful and daily practice.

It is from this love of place, and the sense of belonging, that grounded, effective activism begins to take place.
