Who We Are

Kids In Nature was founded in 2025 with the singular mission of encouraging curiosity, cultivating confidence, and inspiring a lifelong appreciation for the natural world in kids across Ohio. We at Kids In Nature remember what it was like exploring the woods near our homes and imagining all the new and exciting things we would discover - with each new discovery being even more magical than the last. We recognize the impact this time outside had on us, and we believe that all kids in Ohio deserve the opportunity to have these same experiences. They deserve the chance to make forts in forests and to search for crawfish in creeks; at Kids In Nature, our nature-focused programming gives them those chances.
