NW Family Daycation is a community-centered program focused on providing equitable access to natural spaces. Our mission is to foster a lasting connection between children and nature by providing culturally-responsive resources and activities that bring relevance and joy to nature stewardship for all households, regardless of race, ability, or socioeconomic status. We strive to cultivate genuine relationships with our communities, by listening with head and heart, and to become a point of entry for historically marginalized communities to discover a true sense of belonging in the natural world.
NW Family Daycation is proudly supported by the US Fish and Wildlife Service
