February 2026 Newsletter
Hi read,
We have lots of exciting happenings this month to share with you!
☀️ Book Club: Grow Wild!
We're hosting a special interactive book club workshop with the fabulous Katy Bowman, author of Grow Wild: The Whole-Child, Whole-Family, Nature-Rich Guide to Moving More.
 
Read the book and join this workshop on Thursday, April 16 5:30-7pm PST for a community conversation about how to get our kids (and ourselves!) moving more. REGISTER HERE.

🌳 OKOT Story & Service Updates
The photo on the left is my "nervous first day" photo 😬 from the very first time I took a group of children outdoors for OT…you can see how nervous I was…but I loved it and never went back indoors again!
 
Since that nervous photo in 2015, OKOT has grown to a large team of therapists, student interns, group assistants, volunteers, and admin staff who work together to provide high-quality outdoor OT to hundreds of children every year. 
 
This has always been our mission. So this year, we've baked that mission into our business structure: OKOT has officially become a California Benefit Corporation — a type of purpose-driven business that legally commits to creating positive community impact. Becoming a B-Corp formalizes what has always been true at OKOT:
  • Connection with children and families comes first.
  • We invest in high-quality staff and clinical excellence.
  • We prioritize accessibility, inclusion, and community impact.
  • We protect nature and take care of the environment.
  • Profit is never the driving force behind our decisions.
This legal structure strengthens our ability to expand access to services, build mission-aligned partnerships, and work hand-in-hand with our sister non-profit foundation*.
 
*We've ALSO made a change to the name of our sister non-profit to more clearly communicate the intention to expand access to nature-based therapy services at OKOT. So, the "Therapy in the Great Outdoors Foundation" is now the
Outdoor Kids Foundation. We will start active fundraising soon to offer more scholarships for children who lack access to high-quality outdoor therapy services due to limited finances or other barriers.
 
Thanks for all of your support of OKOT along the way, whether you've been here a week or for all 10 years! 😊 
OKOT Service Updates:
You can check out our current 1:1 outdoor OT services here.

Cheers,
Laura Park Figueroa
