Wilderness Youth Project · Private

Wilderness Youth Project is a Santa Barbara nonprofit that connects kids to local nature through small, mentor-guided groups. Its summer camp and school-year programs get children outdoors in Santa Barbara's foothills and beaches to build confidence, problem-solving, and social skills, and subsidized 'Bridge to Nature' programming and scholarships broaden access. It also runs an outdoor preschool program.
