Help us go from screen time

To green time

Give a young person an adventure they’ll never forget.

Our adventures are always free for participants. That’s only possible thanks to people like you.

For many young people, a week in nature, a trip abroad or a night around a campfire simply isn’t within reach. Because of money, a difficult home situation or a heavy life story.

These are exactly the young people we go on adventures with. Together with organisations like Stichting Sport & Behaviour and the Anne-Bo Foundation, we reach young people who would otherwise stay at home. Because participation is always free, we depend on donors to make it happen.

Where does your donation go?

Your donation goes directly to the adventures:

  • Travel: getting young people to the Dutch coast, the forest or across Europe

  • Food & accommodation: tents, huts, hostels and meals along the way

  • Materials: gear, workshop materials and everything else a trip needs

  • Guidance: our trainers and coaches volunteer their time; we give them a small fee as a thank-you

We keep our organisation lean. Only the costs that are really needed go to project management, administration and communication.

We do it for them.

“I feel calmer, my mind feels clear, and at the same time I have new energy. I’ve also realised more than ever that I need to make time for myself. I’m really glad I came!”
