NatureBridge will not be offering this program for summer 2023.

Volunteer

In order to have adequate supervision for the students, we will need one or two parents to volunteer to help out in each hiking group each day of the program. If you are able to volunteer for one of our three-day shifts, we are offering half-price tuition for one child.

Volunteer shifts are Monday-Wednesday or Wednesday-Friday. Please note that it may not be possible for parents to be in their own child's group.
