School Programs
NKJN programs offered at Sanchez, Pioneer, and Ryan Elementary and Angevine Middle School and Centaurus High School take a whole-child approach to building a connection to nature and the outdoors by engaging each participant’s head (knowledge), heart (social emotional awareness), hands (service), and feet (place-based). The age-appropriate and scaffolded progression of programming includes in-school, field trips, and afterschool programs.
