#ThrowbackThursday to the very first summer for our graduating seniors—their first time flying west, stepping foot at Broken Arrow Ranch, and exploring the wild beauty of Jackson Hole, @yellowstonenps and @grandtetonnps 🏔️✨

This year, they return for their final summer with City Kids💛 By giving to our Pack Your Bags campaign, you’re not only closing out their journey, you’re helping the newest City Kids start theirs.

🎒 Let’s send them off right, and welcome the next generation. ✈️ First flight takes off June 17.

🗓️ We’re in the final days to raise $200,000 to make it all possible. We’re already over halfway there—thanks to you!

🚨 The #CountdownToCamp starts NOW—this is our final push!

We still need to raise over half of our $200,000 goal, and with the first ✈️ lifting off June 17, summer depends on our community showing up.

🎒💛 Huge thanks to everyone who’s already supported our Pack Your Bags campaign—you’ve gotten us this far!

Every dollar helps us pack gear, board flights, and give 100+ DC youth the full City Kids experience: campfires, confidence, and connection in the wild.

Are you in? 🌲🔥🏕️

That’s a wrap on our final applicant overnight of the season! 🏕️ We’re one step closer to welcoming the City Kids Class of 2031—a new group of adventurers ready to begin their seven-year journey with us, starting this summer in Wyoming.

Huge thanks to @aldiusa for fueling the fun with a generous donation that kept everyone well-fed and ready for adventure! 💛

Want to join the journey? We already have 5 new Endurance Partners stepping up to support this incoming cohort—and we’re looking for 20 more. Join our community of monthly donors and walk alongside our participants as they grow, explore, and thrive. Will you be one of the 25 in 2025?

Our Junior Camp Leaders spent spring break backpacking through Shenandoah National Park—building leadership skills, deepening friendships, and soaking in the beauty of spring one step at a time. 🌿

This summer, they’ll head to Wyoming to serve as mentors and role models for younger campers, helping guide adventures in the Tetons and beyond. As we get ready to celebrate #NationalParkWeek, we’re grateful for the wild places that help young leaders grow.
