Our Mission
The goal of FITaos is to touch the lives of every child in Taos, growing strong, resilient young people with a love of nature, confidence in themselves, and the leadership abilities to become the future stewards of the mountains and rivers that we play in each year.
The Field Institute of Taos provides hands-on, nature-based outdoor experiences promoting connection and healthy, active lifestyles and focusing on adventure, natural sciences, community, and culture.
Our Vision
We strive to grow our community of engaged, resilient, and inquisitive children and families with opportunities for ALL Children to experience the beauty, connection, and wonder of nature while developing a healthy, active lifestyle.
We accomplish our mission through year-round programming that includes summer camps, community wellness programs, youth leadership development, school field trips, and bike programs among other initiatives.
