Our Location
COUNTRY KIDS is proudly based in the heart of Idaho, where the natural beauty of our surroundings provides the perfect backdrop for our mission. Our headquarters and primary operations are located in Rexburg, a community that shares our values of environmental stewardship and youth development.
Physical Address:
REXBURG, Idaho 83440-1922
This strategic location allows us to serve families throughout southeastern Idaho and beyond, offering easy access to diverse natural environments including farmlands, forests, and outdoor recreational areas that are essential to our programming.
Growing with nature, thriving together.
Our mission statement captures the essence of what we believe: that when children connect authentically with the natural world, they don't just learn about the environment—they learn about themselves, their capabilities, and their place in the larger community.
This philosophy drives every program we offer, every activity we plan, and every relationship we build with the families and communities we serve.
What We Do
Nature Connection
We engage children in meaningful outdoor experiences that foster deep appreciation for the natural world and environmental stewardship.
Farming Education
Through hands-on farming activities, children learn where food comes from while developing practical life skills and work ethic.
Outdoor Activities
Our diverse outdoor programming builds physical fitness, confidence, and leadership skills in natural settings.
COUNTRY KIDS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging children with nature, farming, and outdoor activities. We focus on building resilience, teamwork, and a genuine love for the environment through experiential learning that connects young people with the land and each other.
Building Essential Life Skills
Resilience
Through outdoor challenges and farming work, children develop grit, perseverance, and the confidence to overcome obstacles.
Teamwork
Group projects and collaborative activities teach cooperation, communication, and the value of working together toward common goals.
Environmental Love
Direct interaction with nature cultivates lifelong environmental consciousness and stewardship values.
Our Programs in Action
Seasonal Farm Programs
Spring planting, summer cultivation, and fall harvest activities teach the full cycle of food production. Children learn patience, responsibility, and the satisfaction of nurturing life from seed to table.
Nature Exploration
Guided hikes, wildlife observation, and ecosystem studies help children understand their connection to the natural world and develop scientific thinking skills.
Leadership Development
Older participants mentor younger children, developing leadership skills while reinforcing their own learning through teaching others.

Environmental cleanup initiatives, community gardens, and habitat restoration projects connect our mission to broader community needs.
