I would love to live in Nature because I could roll down the hill and I could climb trees.

Bright Elementary Student

Hikes are like roller coasters. There are always going to be ups and downs.

T.S. King Middle School Student

I learned that nature is really beautiful and that if you pay attention you can notice things you never did.

Jordan High School Student

I learned that nature is more beautiful in person than on my phone.

T.S. King Middle School

For many of my students, they have never been out of their neighborhood. These trips are a window into nature also I want them to see themselves as being able to go out and explore nature themselves.

Teacher

ICO has made it possible to carry on the ever valuable, deeply gratifying and fun task of getting these lovable inner-city kids out on the trail. Nature takes care of the rest! Hiking with the ICO and the kids has been one of the best things I’ve experienced as a teacher.

Teacher

I love the outdoors and especially hiking and I want to bring my passion to my students. I know it is a great chance to bond with my students. Many kids never have these types of experiences. I love seeing the excitement that they have before, during and after a hike.

Teacher

For most of my students this is the first time they have ever gone hiking. Not only do they get to exercise but they also get a chance to explore nature.

Teacher

Getting students (and myself) outside the city and comfort zones, to share the joy of nature, because kids especially need to disconnect, live simply, and be creative.
