KEEN | KEEN - Kittitas Environmental Education Network

Our mission is to cultivate an active awareness and understanding of the endangered shrub-steppe, provide

nature-based education for all ages, and strengthen commitment to environmental stewardship.

If our young people do

not spend time outside or have a basic understanding of science and ethics, how can we expect them to handle the environmental challenges they are sure to face in the years ahead?

KEEN teaches with the whole picture in mind and we understand that our environmental, social, and economic needs and actions are all intertwined.

What affects one, affects all three.

We work to improve our community's understanding of this model through youth and adult programming, special events, strategic partnerships, and barrier-free access to nature.

Upcoming Events

Outdoor School and Pond to Pines Summer Camp

A place where kids can see, hear, touch, smell, even taste nature. A place where they can learn about themselves, their natural environment and their peers while participating in fun and educational outdoor activities.

There’s something for every age and every interest that will help your students grow by facing challenges, overcoming their fears and doing things they never imagined they would!
