Mission Springs Outdoor Education

The journey starts now! 72 hours from now we hope to raise $150k to restart camp. If you laid out our goal on a trail map of Mission Springs we are going to trek from Frontier Ranch all the way to the top at Eagle's Landing. It is never easy to go alone so that's why we are asking you to journey with us! We need your help to reach the top! Donate now www.missionsprings.com/giving.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. -MLK

What tool extracted these two sections of redwood tree tissue? ... ... ... an increment borer. Count those rings...what’s your estimated age of these ?

We wanted to share this quick story. Remember Mrs. Lewis from Winston Churchill (if not see Monday's post)? Well she and her daughter, Everly, have been coming to Mission Springs with the school every year since Everly was 2. Since they couldn't come with the school this year, they decided to make a weekend trip to Mission Springs and relive some of the traditions that their family does with MSOE. We thought this was such a good idea, we (and Mrs. Lewis) wanted to encourage o...ther families to make the trip too! The redwoods are still here, the banana slugs are still making slime trails through the forest, and there are still beautiful eco-systems for you to explore! Mrs. Lewis and her family say, "Mission Springs is the best vacation we have every year!" Book a stay here! www.missionsprings.com/refresh

Ever thought about saying, "I do" here at Mission Springs? We can provide you with a beautiful space to host a socially distanced outdoor venue for your ceremony. Check out venue options and get in touch with us: https://www.missionsprings.com/guest-group/weddings/

Winston Churchill Middle School we miss you! Mrs Lewis and her daughter, Everly have been coming since Everly was 2 (she is now 7) and this will be the first year that they won’t get to share a week with us at Mission Springs!

This Hispanic Heritage Month we want to highlight an amazing Mexican-American interpreter at Rancho del Oso! Meet Interpretive Park Aide Michelle Garcia!

Please join her or one of our other wonderful Latina interpreters Thursday, October 15 at 3PM for a Facebook Premiere on Seacliff State Beach's page to learn more about their stories and view Hispanic Access Foundation’s short film, #IAmCheo.
