Part 3 - Line 1
THE MISSION OF NATURETRACK IS TWOFOLD: TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPANTS (STUDENTS AND WHEELCHAIR USERS) TO EMBRACE OUR NATURAL WORLD WITH RESPECT AND WONDER, INSPIRING THEM TO BE STEWARDS OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES; AND TO PREPARE SCHOOL-AGE STUDENTS WITH ATTITUDES, LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AND HABITS FOR LIFELONG LEARNING.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF OPENING RESERVATIONS IN AUGUST 2022, WE BOOKED 125 TRIPS FOR MORE THAN 5,000 STUDENTS. DESPITE OCCASIONAL CANCELLATIONS DUE TO WEATHER AND TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES, WE MANAGED 111 OUTINGS, PROVIDING 4,857 STUDENTS WITH INVALUABLE OUTDOOR LEARNING EXPERIENCES. WE DILIGENTLY RESCHEDULED CANCELED TRIPS AND RAN FOUR TO FIVE WEEKLY TRIPS. IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT ALL NATURETRACK TRIPS REMAIN COST-FREE FOR PARTICIPANTS, AND WE CONTINUE TO COVER TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES. OUR FREEDOM TRAX PROGRAM FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS IS FLOURISHING, GRANTING HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH MOBILITY CHALLENGES ACCESS TO SANTA BARBARA COUNTY'S BREATHTAKING OUTDOORS. WITNESSING THE JOY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND FRIENDS AS THEY NAVIGATE BEACHES AND TRAILS THEY COULDN'T ACCESS BEFORE IS INCREDIBLY REWARDING. NATURETRACK NOW HAS THREE WHEELCHAIR USERS WHO ARE ACTIVE VOLUNTEER DOCENTS!
