Our Place Summer School Scholarship Program 2019

Our Place Summer School is designed to “unplug” children by bringing them into direct contact with the creatures, geologies, hydrologies and infrastructures of the Nonotuck biome and the Westfield River watershed.

(Click to read the Daily Gazette article about Our Place.)

Thanks to the generosity of people who donated to our Full Moon scholarship fundraiser, we are able to offer 15 scholarships for children from the age of 6-9 years old, who participate in the National School Lunch Program.

We are looking for students who can attend our July 8-12 or August 5-9 sessions.
