Our Mission

To improve the quality of life for autistic children and their families by creating a place where they are supported, inspired, and encouraged to develop the skills to build connections, confidence, health, adventure, and personal growth.

How it All Began

The biggest breakthrough for founder Lindsay Keating was when she started taking her daughter who is autistic and differently-abled intellectually out into nature. Hiking, wildlife, stand-up paddle boarding, and camping offer natural stimulation, unstructured play, and opportunities to build connections. The positive impact that these activities had on her daughter was unmissable. With Lindsay’s love for the outdoors and a desire to share the positive impacts with more autistic children, Nature Moves was born.
