KEEN Winter Camp is back!

Keep your kids active, curious, and connected to nature over winter break! Join KEEN for three days of outdoor fun at the Yakima Canyon Interpretive Center. Campers ages K–16 will explore the outdoors, play winter games, create seasonal crafts, enjoy hot cocoa by the fire, and discover how animals adapt to winter. Register here.

YCIC Outdoor Learning Campus Project

Taylor Wilson and the construction class/skills USA club helped out with path building, rock moving, and spraying the yurts with fire kote 100! They’ll be helping with wiring for solar, drywall, and other finishing projects as the fall/winter goes on. Amazing!!! Learn more about the project here.


Join KEEN - Volunteer Today!

KEEN is growing, and we're looking for passionate community members to help guide our next chapter.

As we expand year-round environmental education, complete our Outdoor Learning Campus at the Yakima Canyon Interpretive Center, and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards, we're seeking new members for our working Board of Directors.

We're especially interested in individuals with experience in:

Business or entrepreneurship

Finance, accounting, or banking

Fundraising and philanthropy

Education or youth development

Construction, engineering, or project management

Conservation, recreation, or tourism

Marketing and communications

Community leadership and relationship building

You don't need to be a scientist or educator—just someone who believes every child deserves meaningful experiences in nature and is willing to share your time, expertise, and network to help make that vision a reality.

If you've been looking for a meaningful way to give back and help build something that will serve our community for generations, we'd love to talk with you.

To learn more, contact Jill Scheffer at 509-551-8807 or email us at keen@keenetwork.org to start the conversation.
