Nature is for everyone

At Living Earth School, we believe that every child and adult deserves the chance to experience hands-on learning with mentors in nature.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we are able to offer a range of ways designed to make our programs welcoming and accessible for as many people as possible. This is People Care in action.

Our Scholarship Fund helps participants who might otherwise be unable to join our programs. Scholarships typically cover 20–50% of tuition, and in some cases can range from 10–90% depending on individual circumstances.

2026 priority deadlines:

• Summer Camps: Jan 19, 2026
• School Year Programs: April 6, 2026

Applications received after these dates are considered on a rolling basis as funds allow.
