Muddy Sneakers operates at the crossroads of outdoor science instruction, public education, and conservation to awaken in children a deeply felt connection to the natural world – one that inspires curiosity, stimulates learning, and brings new life to classroom performance. We envision a world where every child has the opportunity to form a connection to nature and benefit from the wellness it provides. We are committed to becoming a national model for closing the science literacy gap, ensuring diversity thrives in the outdoors, and instilling an understanding of one's role in the greater ecosystem. In doing so, we cultivate healthier generations committed to the stewardship of our natural resources.
Muddy Sneakers shares place-based, experiential science learning and nature discovery with 5th grade students in our public schools. As part of a school partnership, Instructor teams guide learning expeditions onto nearby, protected lands, with the goal of introducing students to the wonders of the natural world through teaching science hands-on, outdoors, in small-group settings. Merging the energy of young students with the energy of these outdoor places sets the stage for rich experiences that bring personal meaning to the classroom science curriculum. Muddy Sneakers supports inquiry-based learning throughout the school year through other partnership elements, including a nature-based science curriculum for the schoolyard and virtual sessions with instructors. Muddy Sneakers strives to develop in children a life-long love of nature by unlocking academic achievement, inspiring the joy of learning, and planting an understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.
