About Forest Kids
About
The mission of Forest Kids has always been to provide children and families with the highest level of hands-on outdoor education. We strive to provide the children of our community with opportunities to learn, play, explore and connect in nature, with the goal of leaving positive lasting impressions that will benefit them in their development and life choices not just now, but into their future. Families who become part of our Forest Kids programs, also become part of our Forest Kids family, as we place a huge emphasis on offering memorable family activities, such as fishing nights, outdoor movie nights under the stars, star gazing nights, harvest festivals and more. In a world that seems to be becoming increasingly disconnected from one another, we strive to cherish and maintain the tradition of authentic connection, with nature, with friends, within families and within our community.
