Get Kids Outside is a Frederick County, Maryland-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization! At Get Kids Outside, our name is our mission. We are a nonprofit dedicated to introducing children from diverse backgrounds, especially the underprivileged and impoverished, to the wonderful world of outdoor adventures through educational and exploratory camps. Through these adventures, we build a foundation for local youth to understand the importance of preserving our environment, and how together, we can make that happen. We believe it is especially important to give underprivileged and impoverished youth who may not otherwise have the opportunity to take advantage of such great outdoor experiences, the ability to get outside and see all our local parks have to offer.

By participating in our outdoor adventure programs, kids see the natural beauty mother nature has to offer. Like many outdoor experiences, educational youth adventures like ours have the potential to unlock curiosity in a way that few man-made endeavors can.

We’ve been fortunate enough to accompany these young explorers across several destinations, as they’ve seen everything from the red cliffs of Zion National Park to Old Faithful erupting in Yellowstone.

Our adventures provide opportunity for them to see the primeval, stunning, and unflinching landscapes of North America. The wonders of nature never cease to amaze them!

Our mission is to show these youngsters, including the underprivileged, what the world has to offer outside of their norm. The ability to have these experiences so early in life will open the door to amazing possibilities in their future. That’s why outdoor education is important! Check out our Youth Educational Adventures.
