If you have a 4th grader, you're eligible for a free National Parks pass! If you get it now, it is valid through August 2025 so you can go on an adventure this summer!

4th grade educators can also enroll their ENTIRE class. It is completely FREE, and the pass is good for all children in the family under 16, up to 3 adults, or 1 passenger vehicle. An annual pass is regularly $80, so this is an awesome opportunity.

Grab it here!

Yes!

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and maybe it is. But as a small business, it also stings.

When you’ve spent years building something from scratch, through trial, error, sacrifice, and sleepless nights, it’s hard not to feel the gut-punch when someone copies your work without acknowledgment. It’s our life’s work, our passion, our story written in sweat and soil.

There’s room for everyone to shine. But originality still matters. And when inspiration isn’t original? Give credit. Say where it came from. That small gesture means everything to those of us who’ve poured years into paving the path you’re now walking.

We don’t need to gatekeep but we do deserve respect.

Support small. Stay rooted. Build your own legacy, don’t borrow someone else’s without asking.

We are delighted to be #1 in Edmond areas for Spring and Summer 2025. We are thrilled to know how amazing our students are doing at other camps using the social skills and positivity 🙂 👏 learned in our facilities. Please keep sharing!

As much as our founder and creator loves ❤️ children and creating programs, it's not free 😕, and we would like to ask facilities to refrain from reaching out regarding donations. High-income producing facilities should pay for ideas or budget a salary 🤔 for us before reaching out. If program directors making big bucks aren't producing needed programs, find a new employee or budget us in.

We are no longer entertaining responses to inquiries asking for handouts. I shouldn't have to say, "Shame on you," but it seems necessary at this point. We will work with you to create successful programs, but they need to be funded. Thank you. – !!
