Did You Know
Kids are on screens over 7 hours a day!
Many kids are overweight, anxious, depressed & even suicidal.
Children are carrying this sedentary lifestyle and disconnection with nature into adulthood, creating a troubling national trend for the future of conservation, our economy, and the health & wellness of our communities.
Many kids lack mentorship in life skills, from effective communication to leadership to financial literacy to healthy living.
ATTN: Schools
1- Have kids vote on which passions they're most interested in.
2- Set a date where your gym and grounds are available.
3- We'll create an event for your school!
41 Outdoor Passions
Here's "Omer" teaching kids paddleboarding & surfing at Scarborough Middle School.
We’re there every week introducing the kids to different outdoor passions.
Like all of our volunteers, Omer joined us to pass on his love of the outdoors.
We've grown to 136 volunteers from around the state in 41 outdoor passions.
Our approach allows us to work with schools in every corner of the state -
some further away from Portland than NYC, yet still in Maine!
A connection to nature is invaluable to the physical, mental & spiritual health of our communities.
We bring people from all walks of life TOGETHER to help our kids and communities thrive.
