Donations

Every Gift Makes a Difference

Your one-time donation, no matter the size, directly supports a child impacted by parental incarceration. By contributing today, you provide essential resources that make our outdoor experiences possible, creating lasting positive memories and fostering growth. See how your generosity can immediately help a child:

  • $15 – Provides a Field Journal & Pen: Gives a child a personal space to document their discoveries, thoughts, and feelings during their time in nature.

  • $25 – Funds a “First Catch” Kit: Covers the cost of a rod, reel, and tackle, allowing a child to experience the thrill of catching their very first fish.

  • $50 – Supplies an Outdoor Explorer Pack: Equips a child with a backpack containing a water bottle, snacks, a field guide, and bug spray for a full day of adventure and learning.

  • $75 – Sponsors a Child for a Day Trip: Covers all expenses for one child to join a guided fishing or hiking excursion, providing them with mentorship and a powerful day of healing and fun.
