Your CatRock gift will go even further.

Thanks to the generosity of our partners, Keaton’s kids, the first $30,000 in donations will be doubled from now through December 31st. Your CatRock contribution will have twice the impact. 

Your generosity enables us to provide our underserved Bronx students with the transformative outdoor experiences that CatRock is known for. 

Whether it’s biking through NYC’s urban forest, hiking to the top of a mountain, learning to snowboard, or removing invasive species from local parks – often for the first time in their lives – CatRock students build a personal connection to the nature, explore their interest in caring for the environment, and engage in service projects that benefit their communities.

“CatRock has done so much for me and my family. They have changed my life and I feel so beyond grateful for them”

~Gabby J.

“I was going through a lot of insecurities. At CatRock they treated me like everybody else wouldn't. It wasn’t like school, walking down the hall, people staring at you or not talking to you. At CatRock they don't care about how you look or your culture or nationality. They just care about you.”

“What you learn at CatRock is different from what you learn in high school. Educators at school teach you core subjects like mathematics. Educators at CatRock teach you how to become a better person. It sounds weird to call them educators, but that’s what they are.” 

“Doing things that I never thought I’d do, like skiing in Vermont and leading younger students on hiking trips in Hook Mountain Park, has been such an empowering experience. But my experience at CatRock has also helped me become a less self-absorbed person.”

~ Corey R.

Richard O. CatRock Alumni Leader

“CatRock teaches kids who have challenging backgrounds to step out of that and become more than society has deemed them to be. Many kids in New York City don’t have access to the outdoors or even a backyard. CatRock is pioneering the way to get teens get outdoors and developing them as leaders. I feel like CatRock is an experience that every New York City kid should experience. It is just really a life changing.”
