Connecting kids to the outdoors
Where education meets adventure
Catamount Institute is dedicated to connecting kids to the outdoors.
To do this we use a mix of education and adventure through meaningful outdoor experiences.
Our programs
Through our programs, children learn that they have the powerful ability to protect and nurture the natural world. During the school day, after-school, and during the summertime! There are opportunities to get outdoors all year long. Explore our programs to find your fit!
Registration is currently open for Summer Camp!

outdoor education
It's kind of a big deal
Research shows that outdoor education enriches children’s lives in fundamental ways. Children who learn and play outdoors have:
- Longer attention spans
- More creativity
- Higher levels of self-confidence
- Higher standardized test scores
- Happier healthier lives
- Greater academic success
- Significant improvements in cognitive development, self-discipline, imaginative and creative expression, language skills, and social interactions
How can we help you reach your educational goals? Contact us today to plan your adventure.
Donate today
Make a difference in a child’s life today by sharing the magic of the outdoors! A donation to Catamount Institute opens the door of possibilities for families and schools who would not otherwise be able to provide an outdoor experience.

Do you love the outdoors and want to share that love with a future generation? We work with over 8,000 youth each year and we need your help! Volunteer one day or all year long. No previous experience required.
