The Youth Nature Connection project is free to participants thanks to a Civil Forfeiture grant focused on youth crime prevention. This project serves all youth aged 12-18 years who would like to participate in a positive experience this summer.
This program focuses on encouraging youth participation in recreational activities, fostering the development of positive social relationships between youth, developing youth team building skills in a neutral environment, increasing youth self-esteem and empowerment through skill development and developing respect and appreciation for nature.
