Youth Programs

Think of it as the ultimate field trip! Classes are conducted in a coniferous forest, at the edge of a mountain stream, on the shore of a lake, and in a meadow. The most useful tools for learning are readily available; the students' five senses. The subject of ecosystem science serves as the context for standards-based study of science, technology, mathematics, and language arts.

Team-building and mutual respect are important components of our field programs. New life skills in communication and group decision-making are the result when students participate in a series of low-ropes elements. Clear communication, respect (for ourselves and others), and teamwork are stressed through active metaphor.

If a participant has a disability, food or drug allergy, dietary requirements or any condition requiring accommodation, contact Disability Support Services (208) 885-6307 at least one week (7 days) prior to the start of the Activity.  If your school provides specific services for students—for example but not limited to interpreters, braille, one on one aids, etc.—your school will still be responsible for providing these services while students are at MOSS.
