Well we are coming to the end of the program, which is a little weird to say. I’ve done so many things, seen so many new and beautiful places, and met so many awesome people. As well as getting qualified in things I never thought I would be qualified in; it’s been one fun ride.

This program has not only set me up for a future with the Forest Service, but has offered me a seasonal job to come back to as a GS-4 forestry technician. This opportunity is perfect because it is allowing me to not only work with the Forest Service, but also use my G.I. Bill in the fall and winter towards something I actually enjoy rather than guessing and changing my major trying to find something. My future plans ideally would be to go to school for recreational management at OSU while working in a seasonal trail work position so that once I graduated, I could hopefully be hired on as a GS-9 full-time permanent employee.

I would like to thank AmeriCorps and the Mt. Adams Institute staff for offering me an amazing opportunity to explore jobs in the Forest Service. I would say that in at least my case, Mt. Adams Institute and the purpose of this internship were a complete success.

    It was so much fun teaching mtadamsinstitute summer botany camp yesterday. The kids had a blast learning about plants and natural dyes. We had a field trip to bloomanddye to harvest fresh dye flowers and the older kids made bundle dyed bandanas. The young kids made indigo shibori bandanas and left with blue hands and blue arms! 💙🌿🌼💛 

I left exhausted with a big smile and full heart. Seeing the joy and happiness on these kids faces as they saw what they created was a treat.

    We visited many places in the trout lake valley area to gather fresh ingredients for our outdoor cooking, here the Mt. Chef campers picked fresh vegetables and seasonings for our dumplings!

    #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
