Wisdom

 
 
We are lifelong learners who deeply value and actively seek to understand diverse perspectives, interpretations, and cultures. Our goal is to use this knowledge to better serve and uplift our community.
 

 

Through all our programs, we offer opportunities for cross-generational and cross-cultural partnerships in outdoor settings, allowing our youth to gain a fresh perspective on their connection to natural landscapes and their community.
