About us	We know that time spent in nature helps us to be happier, healthier, and more creative. Research supports this, but it has become increasingly difficult to get kids outside. Kids, on average, spend seven minutes a day in outdoor play and seven hours with electronic devices. Thanks to partnerships with dozens of schools and local nonprofits, Wildrock welcomes thousands of children and families every year to create the happy memories in nature that are the seeds of a conservation ethic and the building blocks of healthy child development. We are working with schools, nonprofits, and universities to expand opportunities for health-promoting experiences in nature and to advance the emerging field of ecotherapy. We hope to be a special place in nature for you and your family for years to come.
