MIGHTY BOOTS WILDERNESS PROJECT

Our goal is to offer free and reduced cost programs for youth. Our primary focus is high-school age but we do offer programs for other school-age youth. We strongly support Arizona foster-care and youth that have less access to outdoor programming.

**Staff has first aid and Wilderness First Responder training. All staff are fingerprinted and/or background checked. Transportation is not provided
