My Project

During field trips, our scholars always have a great time! However, sometimes the weather does not cooperate. One of the best parts of our school is that we get to take our scholars on multiple field trips throughout the year. The group this project will serve is focused on outdoor recreation with a focus on conservation.

With this project, we hope to insure our scholars are dry in the rain, and always hydrated.

Our field trips take place regardless of the weather, and it can be brutal if they are not prepared. Our scholars come from different backgrounds, and this project allows us to make sure everyone has what they need.
