Eagle Eye Institute
Eagle Eye offers opportunities for urban youth to learn about, make connections with, and be inspired to protect the natural environment through transformative outdoor learning programs.
http://www.eagleeyei.org Why nature?
Most young people living in cities have had little to no experience in nature. Research and experience show that spending time outdoors increases physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing and decreases stress. Nature brings people together and connects them to something greater than themselves.
Eagle Eye partners with youth organizations and schools, collaborating with teachers, youth workers, counselors, and administrators to develop programs that meet the unique needs of their youth, including overnight camping, after - school, and summer programs.
Learn About Forests™ The Learn About Forests™ program is a day program that brings 12 to 15 youth and young adults between the ages of 8 and 24 to a natural site for eight hours of exploration, games, hands - on lessons, team - building activities, and stewardship. Learn More About Forests The Learn More About Forests program is a three - day overnight program giving youth and young adults between the ages of 8 and 24 an opportunity to camp, learn, explore, and connect with each other in an immersive natural setting. EAGLE Club EAGLE Club (Earth Advocates Green Leaders for the Environment) is an after - school program in which students explore nature in their community, take field trips to natural sites, learn from professionals, and participate in local stewardship and advocacy projects.
Eagle Eye programs offer young people opportunities to:
Learn hands - on about the environment from natural resource professionals
Develop outdoor skills
Connect with peers in games and team - building activities
Work on stewardship projects to benefit the local environment and community Become aware of environmental career
