We are indebted to everyone who helped make this summer happen, especially families who trusted us to care for and engage their children. We had our highest-ever number of middle schoolers this summer! We extend a huge shout out to UAS families, to students who attended our programs, to high school volunteers, to donors, and to our education partners, including: Anacostia Riverkeeper BranchOut Parks Casey Trees Friends of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens Friends of the National Arboretum/Washington Youth Garden The Omni Shoreham Hotel Tregaron Conservancy Washington International School Without access to bathrooms, water, and emergency shelter, we would not have been able to run full-day outdoor programs. Learning and exploring outdoors is vital to our mental and physical wellbeing, and we couldn’t have done it without our community partners. We’re #StrongerTogether! |
Urban Adventure Squad (UAS) is a D.C.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit education organization. We support K-8 schools and school communities with neighborhood-based, hands-on learning programs that focus on the outdoors.
We offer full-day programs during out-of-school time, like on professional development days and federal holidays, as well as during school breaks. We also partner with schools and school communities to connect students to their neighborhoods with curriculum-aligned activities relating to science, history, math, art, engineering, and writing, and to train teachers in outdoor learning.
