WINTER we are

GROWING TOGETHER “I have really enjoyed working with the sixth graders. went to Outdoor Lab this year and also last year and I really think it’s incredible what happens when you take a group of kids who don’t know each other very well and get them out of their element for a whole week learning in nature. I mean the difference from the beginning to the end of the week is immense. You have these kids who on the first day weren’t talking to anyone or sitting by themselves on their bed and didn’t know how to make those social connections and then those same kids, at the end of the week, are all of a sudden giggling and making new friends and engaging with their high school leaders. It’s just so rewarding to be able to help make that happen for these kids,” senior Maya Dawson said. photo by c. potter
