Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4D

“Community programs inspire and awaken wonder in the natural world by sharing nature's mysteries with others. The program facilitates explorations, discovery, and fun in the natural world for people of all ages in local parks in and around whatcom county. Trips are three to seven day backpacking trips that utilize mentor- facilitated, multi-night learning and discovery outdoors. Length and difficulty of trips vary by age, but each is designed to increase leadership capacity, resilience and strength in the outdoors, and foster connection to self, community, and place. The nature preschool delivers outdoor education and enrichment to preschool-aged youth, ages 3-5, with half-day, 4-hour programming. Program offerings include 1-4-days per week during the academic year and multi-day summer camps.”
