May 2025 Lab Notes

In this month’s issue of Lab Notes:

  • School Year Wrapping Up at the Lab: It’s hard to believe another school year is almost over! Scott McKeown, APS Lab Supervisor, commented, “It never gets old — seeing the joy and wonder on kids’ faces as they spend time here.” School year field trips to the Lab are winding down now with the final three fifth-grade overnight trips this month. Day trips will continue through early June, and then Lab staff turn their attention to planning for the three weeks of summer camp in late June and July. We are excited to welcome this year’s summer campers!

    If you have pictures to share of your students’ time at the Lab, please send them to memories@outdoorlab.org or tag #lovetheODL on social media.

  • Spring Open House & Annual Meeting will be Sunday, May 4
  • Good News for the Outdoor Lab in APS proposed FY26 Budget
  • Applications for Student Board Member due March 31; Teens also needed for Summer Camp Counselor-in-Training
  • “I was in 4th or 5th grade and my group was walking up the Martin Trail and we came across an eastern rat snake and then there was a quick impromptu lesson about snakes and eastern rat snakes specifically. It was just a really cool opportunity made possible by the environment that we were in and the staff that were there leading us through it.”
