The 2025 Winter Session will run for 9 weeks on Mondays, from January 13th through March 17th.

YNC will meet

Mondays from 3:15 PM to 5:15 PM, and will maintain 1:8 teacher to student ratio.

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.
