Recreation Adventures for Youth (RAY)

RAY’s mission is to enhance the emotional health of youth through recreational adventures on public lands while beautifying them.

• Education: RAY works with schools (grades 6 – 12) to inspire youth about the health benefits associated with recreational adventures on public lands while beautifying them.
• Participation: RAY encourages and facilitates youth and their families to enjoy recreational adventures on public lands while beautifying them.
• Conservation: Ray equips youth and their families with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to contribute to the beautification and maintenance of public lands, integrating environmental stewardship with their recreational activities.

Through RAY, we aim to foster a deeper connection between youth and nature, promoting both personal growth and environmental stewardship.
