The Mission of the Environmental Education Foundation is to award educational scholarships and grants to area students and schools for environmental-centered studies and to promote environmental awareness to all ages of the Geneva Lake area.
The Charlotte Peterson Outdoor Education Grants, offered by the Environmental Education Foundation, focus on providing outdoor education opportunities for elementary and middle school students in the Geneva Lake area. This initiative aims to counteract the impact of reduced funding and tight budgets on schools' outdoor education programs. Financial assistance is provided to Geneva Lake elementary schools that feed into Big Foot, Badger, Williams Bay, and Faith Christian High Schools. The grants aim to preserve outdoor education experiences, honoring Charlotte Peterson's legacy by fostering a connection between youth and the natural world.
