What it reported doing in 2024

Destination Nature: An authentic overnight tent camping experience in a natural environment for underserved and ethnically diverse children and young adults throughout San Diego County. The students study and explore the outdoor environment in a thrilling and adventurous learning experience. This experience helps re-connect students to our natural world and fosters the desire to be good stewards of the environment. It is time to recapture an essential part of childhood outdoor play. The outdoor experience includes singing around the campfire, making smores, astronomy, hikes, learning about native Americans' traditional way of life, nature related learning stations, activities, and crafts.Studies from the National Wildlife Federation show that children benefit greatly through participation in activities that bring them in contact with the natural world. Children grow lean and strong, enhances creativity and attention spans, decreases aggression, and boosts classroom performance. Bottom line - healthier and happier kids.
