We are honored to have James Edward Mills join us for a special presentation entitled "Over The Adventure Gap ~ the Path of Progress Toward Lasting Social Change" during our End of Summer Celebration!
This event will include a celebration of our staff and students, an online auction to support our work, and a special presentation by James Edward Mills.
Tickets are free with suggested donation. There are a limited number of copies of "The Adventure Gap" signed by James Edward Mills available! This is a virtual event and a Zoom link will be sent to all registered attendees in advance.
The End of Summer Celebration Auction will raise funds to support our youth programming so that we can ensure that no child's access to nature is interrupted, even in the midst of a pandemic. Items are open for bidding now and we will be adding items as we go along.
