Adventure travel with a purpose
Our mission is for youth to forge an understanding of themselves, others, and their connection to nature through educational outdoor adventures.
Participants return with a boosted self-confidence and a committed passion to act as stewards for others, and the environment. They are prepared to tackle the big issues of the day, leading the work as critical thinkers and collaborators.

Every child deserves the opportunity to travel and experience our country’s most beautiful places regardless of financial means. We eliminate monetary barriers for families through outside financial contributions. Hear more about our philosophy and our work from the Roam Wild team.
Through the exploration of one’s self and others in a challenge-by-choice environment, Roam Wild helps kids build healthy habits of self-care and self-confidence. In doing this work in natural environments we create a diverse body of environmental advocates whose collaborative efforts will ensure a more equitable and sustainable future.
