5th Annual Hike2o Challenge

Donation Goal: $5,000

Water is the lifeblood of our planet and it can be found in every one of us. From alpine lakes to the ocean, we are all connected and dependent on healthy waters for our own health, well-being and future. Hands on experiences in water such as swimming, snorkeling, paddling and fishing are some of the most powerful ways through which children learn about their connection to water and its importance in their lives. 

Research also shows that time spent in nature provides us with physical and psychological benefits as well as dramatically increases the likelihood of future conservation action. If you ask an outdoor enthusiast what inspired them to fall in love with nature, chances are you’ll hear something about an experience in the outdoors and not about an excerpt from a textbook. 

However, there are many children and families to which nature – particularly getting in and on the water – is not easily accessible due to geographic location, socioeconomic impacts and dispositional barriers. 

So, we set out on a mission to challenge individuals to help hike it forward.

The Hike2O Challenge supports our Oceans of Opportunity initiative, a multifaceted program that brings aquatic education and experiences with water to underserved communities and underrepresented groups in the outdoors. From scholarships to critical support services such as transportation and equipment, Oceans of Opportunity offers equitable opportunities for children and their families to learn and explore alongside marine scientists, naturalists and environmental educators in, on and around the water. 

Since its inception in 2019, the Hike2O Challenge has connected 6,000 students to their local waterways and aquatic education. Organizations and groups supported by Oceans of Opportunity include Title I schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, centers for Autism, LGBTQ+ community centers, and the Deaf & Hard of Hearing community.
