As the year ends, we are looking back at what MAI has done in its first year of operation.  It’s important to note that much of this work was accomplished due to the generous support of our fans, the donated time of the MAI Board and the hard work of the MAI staff.  If you like what you read, consider a donation to the Mt. Adams Institute fund (hosted by our partner: Mount St. Helens Institute).  It will keep us moving forward in 2013!

As I look back at the past year, some of MAI’s best days were spent in the company of kids.  Through a unique partnership with five local schools, MAI and the Cascadia Adventure Education School staff introduced over 150+ local youth to the wonders of the natural world and the excitement of outdoor recreation.  We were climbing, boating, caving, firing arrows, building fires . . . but enough with words, let these pictures tell you the story:
