Our Purpose
Many of our nation's children do not have the opportunity to see the America they are part of. For youth from low income families who live in the inner cities, when school lets out for the summer, their vacation time is often spent on the streets without the opportunity for family vacations or summer camps.

For youth from low income families who live in the inner cities, when school lets out for the summer, their vacation time is often spent on the streets without the opportunity for family vacations or summer camps.
Our program takes these kids on a retreat to our nation's national parks where they learn about the environment and geology of the parks. We teach them about the importance of the wildlife that lives there and the need to keep these preserves as free and open spaces.

Under the supervision of camp counselors and park guides, our summer youth camp participants hike, canoe, fish, ride horseback, swim and enjoy other park related recreational activities. They participate in games and competitions all designed to bolster their self esteem. As a group they have sing-alongs around outdoor bonfires, grill their meals outside, and sleep under the stars.
At the end of their journey they feel they are a part of an America they never knew before and that our national parks belong to them too. And they gain insights to the limitless possibilities life has to offer.
