NatureBridge is a nonprofit leader in outdoor environmental education, connecting students in grades 4–12 to the science and wonder of the natural world through overnight programs in national parks. Each year, more than 30,000 students participate in multi-day, hands-on environmental science programs where they study ecosystems, conduct field investigations, and learn scientific concepts firsthand. Through experiential outdoor learning, students also build confidence, teamwork, and social-emotional skills, strengthening connections with their peers while developing a deeper sense of self. NatureBridge inspires environmental stewardship, personal growth, and a lifelong relationship with nature through immersive learning in some of the country’s most iconic national parks.
