The Healing Forest Institute, Inc is a 501c3 non-governmental, non-profit youth development organization.

Its mission is to provide enrichment opportunities for youth, through outdoor education, camping and travel programs, that enable them to make natural connections between their academic life and real world experiences.

With a focus on middle school girls, this experiential program format provides an exciting platform of self-discovery for children that builds character, increases social confidence and strengthens academic competence.

The Healing Forest Institute, Inc is accredited by the American Camp Association.

COVID-19 Update: The safety and health of campers and staff is the priority at The Healing Forest Institute, Inc. We will continue to comply with the safety guidelines appropriate for our program location sites and group size. Despite the continued adjustments due to Covid-19 and its variants, we remain focused on helping children gain access to program opportunities that meet their social and academic needs.

The 2022 

Student Sponsorship Program

Your gift of $25 or more will provide children the opportunity to attend enrichment programs that strengthen academic and social skill building, creative arts and recreation. In partnership with other non-profit youth organizations and schools we help support youth participation in summer camps, virtual programs, tutorial assistance and opportunities that address the physical, social and mental health and the overall wellness of our students.
