Kids & Family

When families connect with the outdoors, they're doing more than strengthening bonds with one another—they're forming lasting bonds with our natural world. Through products, programs, and other experiences, the National Wildlife Federation creates ways for kids and families to experience nature and become empowered stewards of our environment.
