Montana Outdoor Science School

The mission of Montana Outdoor Science School is to promote and understanding, awareness and appreciation of the natural world through quality educational experiences. MOSS offers robust in-school science programs, a reputable and long-standing summer camp and adult workshops and classes. In 1994, Martha Collins, Louise Forrest and Martha Kauffman started a summer camp with the simple goal of creating fun, hands-on nature experiences for kids. Armed with experience as educators, mediators, scientists, authors and moms, the trio shared a vision that our lives are enriched when we have a greater understanding of our natural surroundings. Today, the summer camp has grown to where we offer year-round courses for all ages. As Montana Outdoor Science School celebrates its 19th year, the founders' vision is even more compelling.
