CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The Green River Outreach for Wilderness (GROW) Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2009 by a group of like-minded people sharing a passion for wilderness and a compelling desire to introduce others to wild places. GROW's primary focus is to offer children the opportunity to discover nature through fun activities, so that they may develop a sense of wonder and appreciation for the creation and the Creator who made it. Through GROW's programming, kids can gain self-confidence and be equipped to make better decisions throughout their lives.
