SQUAD NEWS Read our latest e-newsletter, the UAS Update, by clicking here. FALL PROGRAMS Registration opens on Monday, September 25 at 8:00pm! THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC SUMMER OF OUTDOOR LEARNING ADVENTURES! Sending an enormous thank you to our Squad families for registering your children for a summer of outdoor learning adventures with UAS! We loved seeing familiar faces and meeting new families. This summer, Squad members created board games based on nature, pressed plants and created herbaria, boated on the Anacostia River, performed water quality testing, harvested fresh produce, and learned to crochet, embroider, and needle felt. And each week, we hiked between 8 and 16 miles! Thank you to our community partners who provided space to run our programs--without whom we could not offer week-long equitable outdoor learning programs across the city: -Friends of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens -Casey Trees -Friends of the National Arboretum -Washington Youth Garden -Omni Shoreham Hotel AMAZON WISH LIST #SupportYourSquad by purchasing much needed program supplies like hand warmers, Band-Aids, compasses, calculators, markers, and measuring tapes. Check out our wish list! COVID PROTOCOL All students registered for our full-day programs must have proof of vaccination uploaded to UltraCamp.

GUIDE TO OUTDOOR LEARNING Are you an educator, administrator, or parent interested in outdoor learning but aren't sure how to get started? Check out our Guide to Outdoor Learning. DID YOU KNOW? Every Squad program includes between 1 and 4 miles of walking. We might take an urban hike through neighborhoods or a trail hike through the woods, but we are moving as we learn. DC is our classroom! |
