Wild Whatcom is a new non-profit organization founded by experienced outdoor educators with the shared vision of providing innovative experiential education opportunities in Whatcom County, Washington.  Exploring, serving, and connecting with nature, self, and others are the foundation of all our programs.

We currently offer four programs to a variety of ages, the Explorers' Club for Boys and Girls, Wild Whatcom Walks, Nature Babies, and Neighborhood Nature. These programs share the mission of Wild Whatcom to foster a lifelong connection with nature and community through outdoor exploration and service. 

It all started in 2004 when one mother began to regularly guide her children and their friends along the beaches and trails throughout Whatcom County.  Their shared inquiry, discovery, and play naturally materialized into the place-based and community-centered environmental education programs of Wild Whatcom. 

The inspiration to develop ecological stewards and empowered leaders remains the same today.  Using nature as our tool, programs and staff facilitate the personal, social, emotional, and cognitive transformations among groups and individuals.  These life skills are nurtured alongside naturalist skills to build high quality, healthy relationships with self, others, and the earth. 

As families and friends exchange stories about the transformation and growth among participants, requests for our programs continue.  Our goal is to serve and meet the needs of our community.  We work hard to ensure accessible programs to a diverse audience.  We are committed to quality education, effective community engagement, and sound business practices.
