Family Nature Summits is a nonprofit organization committed to environmental education. We build unique experiences for families and individuals in the country’s most breathtaking natural landscapes, inspiring them toward passionate stewardship of the environment as they create lifelong memories together.

Through the decades, hundreds of families and thousands of individuals have been inspired by their time at Family Nature Summits, and invigorating first-hand experiences in some of the most stunning natural and ecologically diverse environments in North America. We are run by enthusiastic volunteers and staffed by environmental experts who care deeply about building space for families and communities to come together, engage with nature and advocate for its preservation. 

The National Wildlife Federation built the first family nature summit experience in 1970. In 2007, Family Nature Summits became an independent not-for-profit. We remain closely associated with the National Wildlife Federation.
