This is a big year for us.  It's our 20^th anniversary!  It's hard to believe that twenty years have passed since Charles County Pubic Schools decided to set up an environmental education program and look for a site.  Mr. Calvert Posey played a very important role when he placed 10 acres of land in the Maryland Environmental Easement program and leased those acres to the school system for $1 a year. 

We have come a long way since those first overnight trips when the facilities consisted of 10 acres of land, pop-up tents and port-a-potties.  We are very grateful to everyone involved in the development, maintenance and promotion of our very successful program.  It truly has been a community effort. While the facilities, staff and student activities have changed greatly throughout the years, the original concept and intention remains the same – sparking the imagination of children and promoting their development as environmental stewards.
