Conchitas Supply Wishlist
It doesn’t take a lot of stuff to explore outdoors and connect to nature. Our programs focus on defying the idea that spending time outside requires you to have lots of (often very expensive) clothes, equipment or supplies.
We do, however, love to repurpose used supplies to expand the ways kids can explore and to find new homes for the gear it does take to be outdoors safely and comfortably each season.
If you have any of the following items that are no longer in use with your own family, or are in a position to make a donation to support our programs, we would be grateful to put every bit to good use!
