More than a field trip
At MOSS, we want all students to feel a sense of belonging. We invite students to explore their unique identities and strengths, work together with others, and investigate complex issues in our local and global communities. We believe that all learning is personal, based on first-hand observations. So, whether they are hiking through a state park and observing a sagebrush, canoeing on a glacial lake while collecting water quality data, or building a snow structure with different layers of the snowpack, students in MOSS programs are making connections with one another and the natural world!
Social and ecological communities are our classrooms. At MOSS students learn that deep knowledge of math, science, and social studies help us understand how the world works and how to ensure equity, justice and sustainability among all living things. Through the MOSS experience, students leave with a better understanding of how to take care of themselves, how to take care of each other, and how to take care of the places we all live.

This is an annual science trip for students in 6th grade. Information is shared with parents a couple of months before the trip. The buttons below will help prepare you for this year's trip. The Pi STEM registration form includes cost and payment information. MOSS asks that all students enroll through their form. We have a button with information about what you need to bring. Finally, there is a button that will take you to the MOSS website if you would like to see more information about the program.
Parents, if you are interested in being a chaperone, please make note of that in the Pi STEM registration.
2024-25 Dates: February 10-14
