Give to BAWT and you will be supporting the next generation of youth advocates and outdoor, environmental, and social justice leaders. 

During the 2022-2023 academic year, BAWT provided $719,089 in gear rentals to educators and youth workers across the Bay Area and we trained 50+ new trip leaders, giving them skills to bring their communities into the outdoors. We served schools down the street from our office and organizations as far away as Sonoma, Redding, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and Yosemite.

If we charged fair market value for our services, we wouldn't need to fundraise. But we do almost all of this for free to decrease barriers to access to the outdoors in our community.

When you donate to us, you let us continue to fulfill a 24-year legacy we've built in the Bay Area, supporting transformative outdoor experiences for all youth.

How your gift supports Bay Area Wilderness Training

$35
Borrow a sleeping set for one youth

Sleeping pads and sleeping bags are essential items for a good camping trip–and items that most youth in our community need to borrow.

$50
Repair supplies for one Gear Corps

Our volunteers generously gift their time to help us repair our gear each month, so we go through a lot of gear tape, sewing supplies, and more.

$1,000
One month of laundry

Maintaining our extensive, high-quality gear library takes financial resources to keep everything in tip-top shape as each piece of gear goes into and out of the field. 

$5,000
Full gear outfitting for a class campout

We make sure youth and educators have everything they need, from tents to sleeping systems to warm layers for a cozy night under the stars.

$10,000
Cost to run a BAWT Frontcountry Leadership Training

We provide educators with essential skills to take students camping in a safe, culturally-responsive environment.
