Children's Forest of Central Oregon
$45,000

Vámonos Outside seeks to improve engagement of Latinx and BIPOC communities in outdoor recreation and stewardship by providing a variety of outings that instill an appreciation and greater awareness of Central Oregon ecosystems.  Vámonos Outside will provide 10-day trips and 3 camping trips designed for Latinx and BIPOC families, reaching a total of 240 participants.  The day programs will focus on introducing participants to water-based recreation, including kayaking and rafting, and will provide education about important issues facing rivers, streams, and lakes.  Several of these trips will have opportunities to engage in stewardship activities that improve the health of our watersheds in Central Oregon.  The three camping programs will provide new campers with skills to recreate responsibly, and also enjoy local rivers.
