Environmental Stewardship

We believe that with each chance to surf, bike, hike or kayak, we’re also giving youth and families a reason and opportunity to find connection with nature.

Building on the stepping stones of outdoor adventure engagement, each program has ingrained intentional philosophies around Leave No Trace, sustainability and conservation. We also provide opportunities for hundreds of youth every year to participate in hands-on environmental education and stewardship. Through environmental education, our participants learn to notice and spark curiosity for the natural world interactions surrounding us. Empowered with the knowledge, we work to rebuild and conserve the environment with activities ranging from beach cleanups, to native/invasive plant management, and even growing food in local community gardens.
