She’s off for her school overnight trip! She handled all of her own packing and I am fully confident that means she’ll have at least 95% of the things she really needs. Girlfriend is on top of it! #urchinadventures #montessorikids #overnightfieldtrip #cascademountainschool

Heck of a week with the #mtadamsinstitute in Washington. I start an internship with the US Forest Service on Monday
If we want them to become stewards of the earth, we must give them space and time to connect with the earth. Dream, create, and play, next generation! #cascademountainschool #cms #futuregeneration #stewardship starts with #connection #love #play #summercamp #natureartcamp #ardisdefreece #mtadamsinstitute

Not only do we get to learn about sustainable agriculture at the base of mt. Adams, but sometimes we get lucky enough to show up on the morning a calf was born. The kids named him "Pizza" #cascademountainschool #farmtotable #bikecamp #hearts #pearsondairy #troutlake
Here’s a picture of one of our neighbor’s(Daniel Finn) signs! They look so beautiful against the natural landscape. /

The community outreach and support is one of the many things I LOVE about my job at the Cascade Mountain School! 😊 We decided to donate this bike to Josue for all his hard work and compassion this summer, and also his continued efforts in his community now. #littlethingsmatter #cascademountainschool #cmsbikedonation
Last year's lecture about Rare Carnivores of the High Cascades was incredibly informative! This image was taken on Mt. Rainer of a Wolverine and her kits. Hopefully an indication of the species growing in the region.
If you enjoy learning about wildlife too, then make sure to secure your seat for our first lecture this season, Bloodsucker, Eel, Asum, Ksuyas, Parasite, Lamprey: Many Names, but What Does it Mean to Us?
For ticket information, please see the link in our bio.

This weekend we remember. We remember the lives that were lost and how all our lives were changed forever. Most importantly, we remember how we came together as a nation. We helped each other pull through the chaos that followed the attacks despite our differences, hoping for a better future.
Together with Americorps, we encourage all who can to help each other again. This 9/11, this day of service, let's get out into our communities and remind each other of our hope and our ability to come together to support one another.

Our summer camp coordinator Dana has been working hard preparing for our very first At-Home Adventure Camps (A-HA)! We’re piloting two camps this week: Budding Birders and Backyard Explorers. If we don’t have in-person camps this year due to COVID-19, we will bring the summer camp experience to your home with At-Home Adventures!
Stay tuned for more updates on camps later this week.
Economics or environmentalism? Trees or timber? Spotted owls or mill towns? 30 years ago our public forests became a battleground - where do we stand today and can these public lands overcome their divided history?
Join us for a panel discussion on April 13th at 7pm to learn about how the Timber Wars still impact our public forests. This event is live, in-person at the Columbia Center for the Arts in Downtown Hood River, OR. Livestream option available.
To get your tickets or view the livestream, follow the link in our bio!

#throwbackthursday to Cascade Mountain School's 2016 Nature Art Camp! This year, CMS is offering a similar camp called Recycled Art where students will work with recycled and repurposed material to make beautiful works of art! This camp will inspire artistic spirit while gaining an appreciation for the things we throw away. Students will get the opportunity to feel like real artists in a local Trout Lake art studio as they create their magical masterpieces. Registration is open at cascademountainschool.org! #mtadamsinstitute #cascademountainschool #recycledart #summercamp #registernow #tbt

MacGyver camp was a complete success, we delivered our endangered species to safety across Trout Lake, and we had a ton of fun playing games and working together too! #engineering #outdoored #shuttle #makermovement #mtadams #waterplay #rainbow #cascademountainschool #mtadamsinstitute
There are definitely silver linings to the challenges we’ve faced with the pandemic. VetsWork @AmeriCorps intern Melissa shares in her blog, “My internship has been much different than expected with the Covid-19 outbreak. I have spent many hours working from home. Although this is not ideal it’s given me time to research and understand some of the history of the Forest Service and therefore have a deeper respect for the work that is being done.” Read more about Melissa’s experience in VetsWork via the link in bio! Also, swipe right for Melissa’s favorite coworker aka cuteness overload!!!

This weeks #TBT is from the 2014 Cascade Mountain School, Science of Stewardship program. High school students backpacked through the Mt. Hood National Forest while conducting meaningful ecological research. The Cascade Mountain School offers a variety of summer camps that give participants the chance to learn new skills, make lifelong friends, and become more connected to themselves and the natural world. Registration for the 2017 season is open! Go to: cascademountainschool.org for more information! #mtadamsinstitute #cascademountainschool #summercamps #mthood #science #stewardship
After a short break from social media, the Mt. Adams Institute is back! We have so many new things to share with all of you. So keep an eye out for all our updates in the coming days and weeks.

As we get excited for Cascade Mountain School's September Mushroom Community Workshop, here's a #TBT photo of successful foraging from a 2015 VetsWork mushroom hike! #mtadamsinstitute #cascademountainschool #mushrooms #forage #community
In this week's Field Notes, Rob Carlson, a Land Steward's intern with Mt. Adams Institute, shares his experience.
"I've been a visitor to public lands all my life, especially in the last few years, and it's important to me that I'm able to support public lands directly through this internship. I hiked more miles in pursuit of work last month than I have recreationally in any single year prior, I believe. I get to enjoy these spaces as I would on my own time while maintaining them for future visitors. It is a way to give back."
To learn more about Rob's adventure and that of our other interns, visit the link in our bio.

Last week marked the end of our Mountain to Valley summer camp! For two weeks, students conducted meaningful ecological research while farming, backpacking, mountaineering, and camping. We hope that they left connected to themselves, with new skills and friends, and inspiration to become positive leaders and change makers in our world! #mtadamsinstitute #cascademountainschool #mountaintovalley #mtadams #troutlakevalley #highschoolcamp #science #stewardship
