Change is in the air! As the summit emerges from its winter blanket of snow and ice, and shows off its austere lichen-covered underworld, down here in the valley we are delighting in warmer temperatures and the coming of spring. The flowers are out, the trees are green, and of course, the school year is rapidly drawing to a close. Which means that here in the Outreach department, we are gearing up for our summer programs!

One big push we are making this summer is to expand the offerings available for summer camps, including a brand-new Field Meteorology program. There is no better way to explore the world of weather than to go outside and experience it while you learn! In this program, campers head outdoors with our experienced educators to learn basic weather principles and to see them in action through observation. What a great way to get your campers excited about the world (and atmosphere!) around them!

In addition, our standard school programs are available for indoor camp settings, and our educators are always willing to work with camps and organizations to customize a program to suit specific needs or interests.

If you are interested in setting up an Observatory outreach program for your camp or organization, contact Casey Taylor, Outreach Educator, at (800)706-0432 ext. 211 or email us at outreach@mountwashington.org.

Looking forward to a great summer!

Casey Taylor—Outreach Educator
