Merrohawke's Annual Fundraising Auction Benefit

Your philanthropic support makes it possible for Merrohawke to serve 600 youth annually from families living within a 50-mile radius of Newburyport, Mass. It is our vision that every child will grow into an adult able and committed to better our world, and with this intention in our hearts and minds, we are committed to guiding learning in nature that inspires empathy, resilience, grit and a deep connection to the earth.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization, Merrohawke Nature School programs take place at sea and on land, for all ages, in all seasons. Thanks to past supporters, more than $172K in scholarship assistance has been awarded to youth desiring to attend Merrohawke. Your support is deeply appreciated.

I am always so impressed with the staff at Merrowhawke. Their knowledge of Child Development and their even natures make for an incredible experience.

This week [my child] came home explaining things about the natural world that I had to Google. Year after year, he comes home excited about his day, suggesting it was “the best day of his life” and has made connections to kids he didn’t know, who we now sign him up with every year.
