August Updates from GGO!
Brain Teaser Bash has a new date!
In light of the emerging COVID-19 Delta variant and the growing number of positive cases in Missouri, Gateway to the Great Outdoors (GGO) has decided to postpone the inaugural “Brain Teaser Bash” in Tower Grove Park.
The “Brain Teaser Bash” will now be held on Sunday, October 24, still at Tower Grove Park. Festivities will start at noon and participants should arrive by 12:45.
New adventures for GGO
Co-founder Ben Aiken!
This was Co-founder Ben Aiken’s last month as GGO's Education Director! A dedicated educator with a passion for outdoor adventure, Ben led our programming efforts and helped to make this organization what it is today. He will enter his new role as a GGO board member as he continues his education at University of Pennsylvania. Thank you for everything Ben!
Virtual summer silliness!
Students at Nance Elementary School in St. Louis were able to enjoy our virtual summer programming! Volunteers from the Washington University Civic Scholars Program were able to engage with 3rd graders and lead crafts, discussion, and physical activities in several sessions throughout the summer. See how the mimic bees with their own "waggle dance" in the picture above! 🐝
