Visiting Outdoor Science School
We are proud of our program and love having parents visit.
When
You can visit pretty much any weekday of the school year,
except during the week your child is attending. We do
not allow parents to visit their child at Outdoor Science
School. Our experience indicates that having parents visit
often creates problems with homesickness. Sometimes it will
be your own child who becomes homesick, but more commonly it
is the OTHER students who get homesick. They see parents
visiting and then wonder to themselves "Why didn't my mom
and dad visit me?" This often sends them into a downward
spiral of insecurity and homesickness. Please help us make
it a successful week for everyone by not visiting your child
at Outdoor Science School.
How
If you would like to visit our school prior to the week your
child is attending, please call to make an appointment.
Telephone numbers to all of the sites are listed on the
contact page. The best times
to visit are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during
business hours. Friday afternoons can also be a good time.
Check with the site director of the site you are visiting to
arrange a time for your visit.
Weekends
Weekends are not an acceptable time to visit the Outdoor
Science School. Most of our school sites are leased, and the
site owners typically have weekend groups using the
property. Please DO NOT just drive up to the site on a
weekend. All of our sites are private property. They are not
public parks.
