Oof, that weekend was BRUTAL ❄️🥶 and our kids still showed up.

-15° “feels like” temps and these young people were out there—layered up, staying safe, supporting each other, and proving that the outdoors isn’t just a summer thing 🌲🧤 Our Hudson County youth are tough!

At Team Wilderness, we run programs year-round and teach youth how to explore safely in all conditions—how to dress for the cold, listen to their bodies, and look out for their peers. This weekend was a reminder that resilience, community, and joy don’t disappear when the temperature drops 💙

Cold weather. Warm connections.
That’s Team Wilderness.

As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the impact your support makes possible.

Because of our community, youth from urban areas have experienced transformative outdoor programs that cultivate a deep connection with nature while promoting personal, academic, and emotional growth. For many, this year marked their first time hiking a trail, paddling on the water, or discovering what they’re truly capable of.

In a time when enrichment opportunities for underserved youth face uncertainty, your belief in Team Wilderness ensures these programs remain available, impactful, and life-changing.

As you consider year-end giving, we invite you to support Team Wilderness. Your gift helps expand access to nature-based experiences that promote confidence, growth, and opportunity for youth across Hudson County.

Thank you for being part of shaping futures and helping young people discover what’s possible.

We are thrilled to celebrate one of our very own! 📸✨
Isaac, a talented youth in our Photography Club, has officially been named a Jersey Choice Winner by NJ Monthly for his stunning photo, “The Beauty of Bayonne Skyline.” 🌆🏆

Out of more than 1,500 submissions, Isaac’s passion and creativity truly shined through — a powerful reminder of what happens when youth are given the space to discover and develop their artistic voice. 🎨💪

As part of this exciting honor, Isaac also received a new professional camera to continue pursuing his craft! 📷✨

Keep capturing the world with your unique perspective, Isaac. The skyline isn’t the only thing looking bright — your future is too. 🌟 To learn more about our Photography Club, visit: www.teamwilderness.org/photography-club

Like Neriah, who shared:
“My therapist has helped me manage life, school, and work. I’ve learned to take better care of myself… and even the more deeply personal things. Team Wilderness feels like an extra home for me — whether it’s learning cameras, communicating with others, or enjoying nature.”

There’s still time to make a difference for youth in our area.

We’re less than a week away from Giving Tuesday — and your support will help more young people access life-changing experiences. Every step on the trail… every breakthrough moment… every boost of confidence — YOU make it happen.

This year, donations matter more than ever. With uncertain funding ahead, we need supporters like you to keep the outdoors, afterschool programs, and accessible and life-changing for our youth.

Give courage & opportunity this giving season. 🌿💚
