NatureBridge is an outdoor learning program that caters to K-12 graders in Yosemite National Park, Golden Gate State Park, the Santa Monica Mountains, Olympic Park, Prince Williams National Forest, and the Channel Islands.
I highly suggest checking out their website to learn about the different programs that they have to offer.
NatureBridge is a nonprofit organization that hires top notch educators to run experiential and life changing programs for students. Their programs are also customizable and can follow a desired focus expressed by the coordinator. Check out their mission statement below:
"NatureBridge fosters environmental literacy to sustain our planet. Through hands-on environmental science programs in nature’s classroom, we bring science to life for more than 30,000 children and teens each year. With our vision for a more sustainable planet, we advocate for effective environmental education in our schools to create pathways to environmental literacy for all young people."
Getting started is as easy as deciding which campus works best for you and contacting the reservations coordinator. Their staff is absolutely amazing and is willing to work with you to answer any of your questions. When I first contacted the Yosemite office I had no idea what to expect, but about two minutes after sending my email I received a phone call and follow up email from a staff member that was excited to help me out!
If you have any questions about NatureBridge programs please comment below, I am happy to answer questions or connect you to someone who can!
Here's a video that I made after completing my first school program in Yosemite. It gives a little glimpse into the activities and adventures that await!
