Eliminating the barriers to getting outside by providing fun, active, and educational outdoor experiences for youth and families in our community.
The Nature Connection believes that every child regardless of privilege deserves to breathe the crisp air on the ski trails of the Grand Mesa, paddle the snowmelt cascading from the mountains and mesas and develop their own personal connection to the natural world. All too often, barriers emerge preventing so many kids from having these formative experiences.
Rural communities in Delta and Montrose County do not necessarily face distance barriers as kids can often see mountains, rivers and mesas from their school yard and homes, but instead face varied physical and economic barriers to getting outside.
