Every year, fifth grade elementary school students from Teton County and students from across the nation spend an entire weekend at Teton Science Schools Kelly Campus in Grand Teton National Park where they bond with their classmates and learn about wildlife. But, due to the pandemic, overnight programs for local and out of state students were canceled.
In fact, an estimated 30 percent of outdoor education organizations nationwide will be forced to shut their doors by the end of the year. That s according to a survey funded by the National Science Foundation. Teton Science Schools is staying open, but it s required some big changes, especially for its field education branch.
