Since 1994 the Montana Outdoor Science School has offered interactive natural science programs in Southwest Montana. MOSS promotes an appreciation and understanding of the natural world by providing quality education for youth and the community. Join us and explore your relationship with the natural world. MOSS programs are designed for aspiring scientists and naturalists alike. Our talented staff uses the region's diverse mountains, sage grasslands, forests and agricultural land to provide the ideal outdoor classroom.
MOSS believes in turning complex natural science concepts into tangible experiences.
Learning becomes hands-on, challenging, sometimes unpredictable and always fun. MOSS uses real world topics as focal points for learning and teaching, to help participants strengthen and apply their newfound skills. Through observation, education and a touch of nature, participants develop an intimate relationship with and sense of belonging to the natural world around them. Our specialized workshops, community events, school programs and summer camps integrate educational objectives with an interactive learning experience.
