Footpath Foundation believes kids who feel connected to the natural world develop traits and skills that help them throughout life. We do not just provide outdoor activities for kids; we also focus on social and emotional learning, character development, and the child’s overall well-being.

Exposure to nature positively affects kids by:

Decreasing stress and anxiety

Improving mental health

Increasing academic achievement

Improving problem-solving abilities

Improving self-esteem and self-confidence

Outdoor experiences allow kids to have the opportunity for safe, independent adventures. There are also lessons in teamwork, patience, and bravery. And the freedom to just be kids.
