Programs
Wildcat Mountain Wilderness Center: Our Wildcat Program provides outdoor adventures to thousands of young people and adults every year. In these beautiful, scenic surroundings, participants can hike and backpack, challenge themselves using teambuilding initiative activities, rock climb, rappel, experience high and low ropes courses, and canoe.
Pedal Farmers: The Pedal Farmers program has engaged young adults from Newark in urban gardening and horticulture every summer, beginning in 2007. The program is designed to provide job training, develop business and entrepreneurship skills, and allow for students to give back to their community through various service projects.
