Founded in 1996 by the visionary Susie Fiore, Field Institute of Taos (FITaos) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to connecting youth with the outdoors through hands-on adventure, environmental education, and active play.

For nearly 30 years, FITaos has provided life-changing outdoor experiences for children and teens through summer camps, after-school programs, school partnerships, mountain biking programs, leadership opportunities, and community events. We operate Team FITaos, coach middle and high school mountain bike teams, lead school field trips and outreach programs, offer teacher trainings, and provide opportunities for youth to grow through our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) and Junior Counselor (JC) programs.

Beyond our programs, FITaos is deeply rooted in the Taos community. From bike rodeos and community events to trail stewardship, Adopt-a-Highway projects, and family education opportunities, we strive to inspire a lifelong connection to nature while building confident, healthy, and engaged young people.

Your support helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to explore, learn, and thrive outdoors—regardless of financial circumstances.
