Our program has given numerous children the opportunity to gain crucial social, scientific and observation skills that they would not otherwise have the opportunity to obtain. We would like to make these opportunities available to as many children as we can, while still maintaining high quality programs and keeping our amazing staff.

Please consider donating to scholarship fund, and help a child from a low-income family participate in our program. 

Donations are also used to enhance Wild Child's programs with special field trips (Aquarium! Campouts!), and continuing guide education (First Aid, Outdoor Ed Conferences, Non-Violent Communication workshops).

Please contact Shanice with any questions about donations.

Donate with Paypal or by check

"What makes people smart, curious, alert, observant, competent, confident, resourceful, persistent - in the broadest and best sense, intelligent - is not having access to more and more learning places, resources, and specialists, but being able in their lives to do a wide variety of interesting things that matter, things that challenge their ingenuity, skill, and judgement, and that make an obvious difference in their lives and the lives of people around them."
