Since 2017, every 5th or 6th grade student in Oregon has had the opportunity to attend Outdoor School, a multi-day immersive science education experience.
Last year, the Oregon Legislature cut the Outdoor School budget by 20%. This year, we weathered the worst of this storm by using one-time reserve funding and making modest reductions to programming. We do not have reserves for next school year.
We will not be able to provide the same level of Outdoor School programming next year as we have in years past. We invite you to attend one of the following virtual listening sessions to help inform our planning. Please RSVP at: bit.ly/outdoorschoolistening
We are hopeful that Oregon lawmakers will partially restore the cuts made last year with House Bill 4112. If you are interested in advocating for this program, visit friendsofoutdoorschool.org to learn more about how to take action.
