Wild Society

Wild Society works to establish relationships between human hearts and the everyday wild. We’re a wilderness education nonprofit based in the Greater Puget Sound region that provides backpacking summer camps, year-round naturalist programs, community partnerships, and events for all ages centered around a love for the natural world. Wild Society is a beneficiary of the historical and current stewardship which is deeply embedded in the Coast Salish culture represented in Kitsap County, by the People of the Clear Salt Water, suq̀ʷabš, Suquamish and the Strong People, nuxsklai’yem, Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribes. We strive to instill these values in our larger community by promoting gratitude, wonder, respect and belonging. We raise our hands to the Coast Salish People of this land by recognizing their historical and present day contributions to the preservation of the natural world we live in. We have long understood community development to be inextricable from our work as environmental educators, and we have long known that in ecosystems and human societies alike, diversity makes communities stronger.
