Our team is wishing you a blessed and restful Thanksgiving break! We'll be back at it soon.

Shoutout to our awesome staff member Dane! Here's what some of our recent groups had to say:

"Dane’s last message had the 8th grade student next to me invested! He truly
engaged with the message."

"Dane was so knowledgeable. He was confident in his teachings and kept the kids
engaged."

We are so thankful to have staff like Dane!

"You have helped all of us create many memories and made Outdoor Science School one of the funnest events I’ve ever experienced. I can not imagine having a different cabin leader. Without you Outdoor Science School would never be the same."

Spending the week learning from our cabin leaders, or program instructors is awesome!

Our GA groups are having a blast this school year. Learning while playing is the best!

Learning can be lots of fun! We're excited that the school year has officially kicked off, and to see you soon if you're joining us!

If you're headed back to school soon, we are wishing you the best school year ever! If you're coming on a trip with us - we'll see you soon!
