Grant Overview
Barriers to Outdoor Adventure in Maryland
In Baltimore, Maryland, the challenge of providing outdoor adventure programs for underprivileged youth is a pressing issue. Many neighborhoods lack access to natural spaces where youth can engage in activities like hiking or camping. Recent data indicates that 35% of Baltimore's children come from low-income households, and opportunities for outdoor engagement are limited as a result. This restricts not only leisure activities but also crucial skill development.
Who is Impacted by Limited Access to Outdoor Activities in Maryland
The primary populations facing these challenges include children from low-income families and those in neighborhoods where green spaces are scarce. As a result, many youth miss out on developing important life skills and an appreciation for nature, which can have lasting effects on their mental and physical health. Access to outdoor programs would provide enriching experiences that foster community engagement and personal growth.

Why Outdoor Programs Matter in Maryland
