Who We Are

Find Us Outside Nature Immersion Program is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2016.


The mission of Find Us Outside (FUO) is to instill a love of learning through our holistic nature immersion program.
The program encourages each child to develop socially, emotionally, and physically through interest-led play and exploration.
The natural landscapes, fresh air, loose parts in the forest, and the changing seasons will comprise our unique classroom.

Where Whole Child Development Blossoms In the Natural World

“Nature immersion is defined as unstructured free time in nature, resulting in an intimate, deep and personal connection to the natural world”


- Erin Kenny
The organization is dedicated to the memory of Alan A. Schutts, who passed away November of 2016.
It was his hope that the organization would bring children and nature together for a better future for generations to come.
Find Us Outside thanks Alan for his determination and loving support!
