Youth Nature Connection is an outdoor enrichment program for students ages 5-8 years old, located in South Lake Tahoe, CA on Washoe territory.

The cost of the program is $20 a day for each 2 hour session.

Our Youth Nature Connection program will be on pause for the rest of the school year and at least through fall 2025.

We know these programs are special to many families, and it wasn’t an easy decision. With our small team, we’re focusing our energy on our Tiny Seeds Forest School for ages 3–5 and getting ready for another magical season of Summer Camps!

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support—it truly means a lot.


Youth Nature Connection sees nature as our greatest teacher, and seeks to hold space for each child to learn about the land that they live on as they form deep connections with it. The program has a strong focus in hiking, wilderness awareness and place-based education.

We seek to cultivate confidence, resiliency, and self-esteem in each of our students through inspired hands-on experiences in the best classroom of all, the great outdoors.
