We are happy to share our most recent Annual Report with you all. You may access the report by clicking on the image above.

Thank you for being part of the Sacred Rok community. We finished our twelfth year of working with under-served youth from the Central Valley and Eastern Sierra. What started as a camping trip with a small group of foster youth from Merced has evolved into a community of like- minded collaborators who understand the value and power of time spent learning, discovering, and connecting with the natural world.

Our mission is to support youth in nature – by helping them develop a respect for nature and in turn learning to respect themselves. We accomplish our mission through taking young people on hiking, climbing, fishing, & camping trips, teaching them the skills to be self-reliant, self-sustaining and purpose minded human beings. This is what we call, “Education Nature’s Way.”

As Covid-19 continues to be a presence in our daily lives we learned to adapt in unique ways. The need to support youth in nature for health and wellbeing has never been more pressing than now.

Throughout the year, in spite of challenges and in line with the safest practices for gathering, Sacred Rok held thirty-two trips to Yosemite National Park, Pinnacles National Park and Bishop, Ca from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

We owe special thanks to our supporters, without whom our efforts would not be possible. We are so grateful for the many donations that we receive from people who are inspired by our story, who read our newsletter, attend our events or meet our staff and volunteers in the field.

We hope you enjoy this Annual Report and we appreciate your continued support!

Sincerely,

Sacred Rok
