RETRO T-SHIRT FUNDRAISER Sending you so much gratitude for a successful fundraiser, which raised $2,300--including $460 in donations--to support our #EquitableOutdoorLearning efforts in D.C. We can't wait to see the t-shirts, hoodies, and crewneck sweatshirts across the city. Special thanks to Christy Brock, UAS Director of Programming, who dreamed up this fundraiser over a year ago, and to the artists, Olivia Mae Junkin (Boulder Bridge design, instagram @olivia.mae.art) and Shashi Arnold (Lily Ponds design, instagram: @fullofmelon) who created such BEAUTIFUL designs that were based on photos Christy took at our programs. 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. For directions on how to upload your child's vaccine card to your UltraCamp account, please visit our Full Day Programs page. Masks are optional--outdoors only--for programs that we host. We remain fully masked during the indoor portions of our programs, with no exceptions. We request that all participants wear a KN95 or surgical mask for all indoor time. 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! |
