To awaken in children a deeply felt connection
with the natural world, one that inspires curiosity, stimulates
learning, and brings new life to classroom performance.
What We’re About
Enriching North Carolina’s Standard Course of Study with hands-on learning in pristine forest areas and wilderness sites.
Allowing students to develop a personal connection with the land, become more physically active, gain in self-confidence and connection with peers.
Who We're Serving
Fifth and eighth grade classes from participating schools in Transylvania, Henderson, Buncombe, and Jackson counties.
How You Can Help
As a non-profit, Muddy Sneakers' success is made possible through the generosity of individuals and philanthropic organizations.
In addition, we invite friends and supporters to work with us in forming school partnerships and in shaping a sustainable foundation which will allow us to include more and more students in “outdoor classroom” experiences.
