The Mount St. Helens Institute and collaborating educators and scientists have developed a vision for the construction of a Field Camp adjacent to the Science and Learning Center. A multi-year capital campaign is being developed to raise the funds needed to construct the Field Camp and to build an endowment to help support its operation.
