Schools & Community Partners

Bring Meaningful Outdoor Learning Directly to Your Community

Outdoor education. Practical skills. Confidence. Connection.

The Luck Group partners with schools, parks and recreation departments, summer camps, youth organizations, faith-based organizations, senior programs, municipalities, and community agencies to provide engaging outdoor education experiences for youth, families, adults, and older adults.

Our mobile programming is designed to remove common barriers to outdoor recreation by bringing trained instructors, equipment, safety systems, and hands-on learning directly to your site.

Whether you are looking for a one-time enrichment experience, an after-school series, summer programming, or a customized outdoor education partnership, The Luck Group can build an experience around the needs of your participants.
