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.

We offer Scholarships & Financial Assistance

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.

We offer School & Community Partnerships

LES partners with local schools and community organizations to bring nature experiences to children and youth who might otherwise miss out. If you are a teacher, school, or community leader interested in connecting your group with our programs, please contact us at connect@livingearthvaorg.
