Experiential education programs are inadequate in California's school system. The southern Sierra Nevada region contains many economically disadvantaged communities who are unable to experience the wild places around them. More and more youth feel disconnected from their communities and the natural habitats surrounding them, something that has become know among educators as "nature deficient disorder". Youth are confined to classroom settings where learning how to take tests replaces opportunities to observe, compare, and comprehend the beauty and mystery of our environment. Immersed in the Wild programs are designed to provide those experiential opportunities for California's youth.
