Youth Programs

Connecting the Next Generation to Nature

Our exciting Youth Adventures are designed to inspire and train the next generation of leaders for the outdoors. From North Cascades Wild to the Cascades Climate Challenge, our programs provide young people an opportunity to learn more about their public lands, each other and themselves.

	Cascades Climate Challenge High school students study climate science, natural history and leadership skills to become environmental stewards in their communities.
	North Cascades Wild From Ross and Baker lakes to Seward Park, introducing local underserved youth to conservation, Leave No Trace skills and personal growth.
