learning along the way!"

Our program goal is to provide fun-filled learning opportunities that allow children to maximize their social, emotional and academic growth through authentic activities and real world experience. We accomplish this through support of unique partnership
programs that blend outdoor adventure, camping, enrichment activities, and travel.
The outdoor locations for the Healing Forest Institute's programs will be held on selected National Park Service or American Camp Association accredited sites locally, regionally or nationally. These locations meet the high standards of health, safety and management required in providing quality youth development programs.
Our Summer Travel Adventure Program itineraries are developed by the Board of Directors in consultation with a Youth Advisory Network of teachers and students.
Participating campers are encouraged to enroll for a two- three year span for maximum academic and social enrichment. Each program cycle, campers will be engaged in an authentic adventure that includes health and wellness, recreation, academics, social skills,
and fun activities.
The structured schedule, not only immerses children in the beauty of nature, it supports a positive social climate in which they can experience success and develop life long friendships. During any travel component, students will visit college campuses, and cultural or historic landmarks in different cities and states...learning along the way!©
The Student Sponsorship Program is a partnership endeavor with local schools and
community based non-profit organizations that provide enrichment experiences
for students in natural or real-world learning environments. Stipends are provided
to students accepted in programs or eligible to participate in an experience unique
to their personal learning goals, but who may require additional financial assistance
to do so. Students must email their request and complete an application stating their need which will be reviewed by a selection committee.
