Our Story
Get Kids Outside was founded by David Smith, who envisioned a world where children could escape the confines of technology and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. With a passion for the outdoors, David started with a few local camps and trips, which have now blossomed into a comprehensive program that spans the country. The mission is clear: to provide children, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, with the opportunity to explore national parks and local treasures at no cost to their families.
Through engaging adventures, kids not only learn to appreciate the environment but also develop essential life skills and friendships. The organization believes that by instilling a love for nature early on, children will grow into dedicated stewards of the environment, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
