OLGSI

Portland, Oregon
The OLGSI is a summer garden camp based in the Outdoor Learning Gardens of Atkinson Elementary in Portland, Oregon. This program is open to all students grades k-5 this current school year. Through Place Based Learning and hands-on exposure, students will have the opportunity to gain skills in the Natural Sciences, engage in gardening techniques and sustainable living, explore the collaborative expressions of The Arts and Science, and create civic action through community based projects. We encourage play, questions, exploration, and self expression.
