My Project

This project will provide students with warm socks and mittens to borrow during the duration of their outdoor science studies. These socks and mittens can be reused many times as we clean them in super-heated water between uses; we have an excellent washer and drier on site.

Our mission is, "To connect children to nature through engaging outdoor science experiences." We are part of the science program in Saint Paul Public Schools.

We serve over 10,000 students every year in single-day, science-focused field investigations. This includes every 3rd and 5th-grade St Paul Public School student, about 1,000 middle and high school students and about 1,800 special education students.
