Outdoor Classroom
We’re building an outdoor classroom to use in our very popular after school and summer camp programs. Right now, there's an old unused pool in that space. The renovation along with removal of a huge pine tree next to the space are costing approximately $20,000. Would your company like to sponsor the project? If so, we'll name the outdoor classroom in its honor. Let us know!
