Muddy Sneakers Core Value: Experiential Learning Hands-on instruction via the outdoor classroom can deeply impact a child’s formal education. We are committed to small group, place-based learning that reimagines the traditional classroom. We cultivate curiosity, observation, inquiry, and relationships that foster scientifically literate future generations.

🎉 What an incredible year we had! 🎉 During the 2023–2024 school year, 4,159 5th graders from 64 NC public schools engaged in 71,882 hours of learning with Muddy Sneakers! Throughout 288 field expeditions, 70 public spaces in our state were used as classrooms, sparking curiosity and awakening within students a connection to the natural world. Let's do it again... bring on 2024–2025!!!

❗Partnerships for the 2024 – 2025 school year are filling fast ❗ Only a limited number of year-long experiential outdoor science education partnerships remain.

Muddy Sneakers Core Value: Belonging We have a responsibility as outdoor educators to introduce nature as an equitable, inclusive, and empowering space for all people.

Here we grow again... We're adding a second Development Manager to our team! 🎉🎉🎉 We’re looking for a skilled fundraiser to drive a minimum of $500,000 in revenue annually to support our mission: to awaken in children a deeply felt connection with the natural world — one that inspires curiosity, stimulates learning, and brings new life to classroom performance.

Muddy Sneakers attended Glenn C. Marlow Elementary's Career Fair last month to give students a taste of what it’s like to be in the environmental education field. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for these young scientists! #stemcareer #stemeducator #environmentaleducator #careerday
