Children First/Communities in Schools is one of Asheville’s most important non-profit organizations.  They support local children by empowering them to reach their full potential.

At Navitat, we believe that nature immersion is one of the BEST ways to learn more about yourself.  We invited Children First/CIS to spend a day with us in the woods exploring our natural environment and learning all sorts of new and exciting things. The kids practiced everything from survival skills, to plant identification, to using nature for inspiration in art.  We ended the day by planting two new trees on the Navitat property!  The kids were AWESOME and of course we learned a few new things from them as well.  It was a GREAT day all around!
