What are the Field and Forest Centers?

Between the trees are big tents and wooden cabins. Each tent includes eight beds and the wooden cabins include four or five beds, a shower, a refrigerator, adjunct restrooms and an air conditioner.

The walled and secured centers include special "trip fields" for overnight camping, open-air and indoor classrooms, sport and recreation facilities, and resting spots among the trees – all allow for an educational learning experience.
