Learn About OWL

5th Grade Parents

Welcome to the Outdoor Wilderness Lab! On this page you will find abundant resources to begin preparing you and your student for future OWL adventures. Our goal is to engage, enrich, and empower your children in this authentic and beautiful landscape. OWL's 160 acre campus creates an immersive environmental education experience for students to grow, connect, and achieve with their peers, leaders, and the outdoors. 

Feel free to explore our website, or click on the helpful links below for more information. 

OWL Student Fee: $150

OWL's student fee is $150, which covers your student's transportation, meals, and educational supplies for their three-day, two-night trip. But don't worry, we don't want the fee to stop any students from attending OWL.

Save just $15 a month starting in January!

If you do this, you will have your student's trip paid for by the time OWL season arrives!

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE is available through your middle school.
