Thank you to Mount Rainier National Park, and all of our partners, supporters, staff, teachers, and students for making the last 13 years of outdoor school so special. If your school or group is interested in conducting your own program utilizing the amazing facilities and outdoor classroom at University of Washington's Pack Forest, please contact Terri McCauley, Conference Center Manager. tmccaul@uw.edu
