We’re doing an OC gear fundraiser! 🌲🌳✨As a non-for-profit forest school, fundraising is an important part of Outdoor Connections. Semester fees go directly toward paying our incredible staff, so fundraisers like this help support the broader costs of running our programs, from materials and equipment to ongoing operations that keep OC thriving.

Send your order and etransfer to [email protected] to snag some of these cozy forest toques!
