✨🫧🌲The morning after a gentle rain at the recent Fire Tenders Overnight, one child woke and began blowing bubbles into the fresh air. The bubbles settled among the wet grass, catching shafts of sunlight filtering through the trees. For a few quiet moments, each bubble became a tiny world, holding reflections of laughter, wonder, and the kind of magic that visits VWP overnights.

These are the moments we cherish, when children have the time and space to slow down, connect with play, nature, and discover wonder in the simplest things.

Enrollment is now open for upcoming VWP youth programs and overnight adventures. Come join us for more moments of curiosity, connection, and a little everyday magic. ✨🫧🌲

🌿 It’s GiveBIG Day! 🌿

Today, you have the opportunity to help more children experience something truly meaningful: connection to the natural world, to themselves, and to their community.

At Vashon Wilderness Program, we see every day how time in nature transforms young people: building confidence, curiosity, and a deep sense of belonging. These are the seeds of lifelong stewardship.

Because of supporters like you, we are:
✨ Expanding access through our Equitable Access and Salish Sea Funds
✨ Launching a new afterschool program in Tacoma
✨ Creating more opportunities for kids to learn, explore, and grow outdoors
