🌿 Mud Kitchen Kids: A Summer Splash of Imagination & Messy Fun! 🌿

Calling all little chefs, explorers, and mud pie masters! Mud Kitchen Kids is a two-hour drop-off adventure designed for potty-trained children ages 3–7 who love to mix, mash, squish, and stir up some messy magic. Each session invites kids to dive into our themed mud kitchen, where nature meets imagination and creativity runs wild!
From mud muffins to leaf soup, your child will get hands-on with dirt, water, and natural treasures while building sensory skills, friendships, and unforgettable summer memories.

✨ $25 per session – all proceeds help support our free Wild Preschool program, giving more kids access to outdoor learning and play.

Spots are limited, so grab your boots and get ready to stir up some fun – because the best summer memories are made in the mud!

Children WILL get dirty, please have kids arrive with sunscreen already applied and a full water bottle and a snack.

Teachers: Tatiana Derichsweiler and Lexzi Hart

We are so grateful for Wildhorse Foundation support of our Wild Schools programming ❤️

Wildhorse Foundation is pleased to announce our Q2 2026 grant awards! 👏

This quarter, $447,230 was awarded to 29 organizations for projects serving communities in the homeland area of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla people. We're grateful for the opportunity to support these nonprofit and government entities — from youth education, to new community spaces, to basic medical needs.

Hi friends!

I wanted to reach out and let you know that we’ve decided to cancel our annual Cider Press Party for 2026.

We’ve been navigating some challenges with funding for our education programs, so this year we need to focus our time and energy on grant writing and building capacity within our organization.

We’re grateful for your continued support and understanding, and we’re looking forward to bringing the Cider Press Party back in 2027!

Warmly,

Meghan Ballard
