An educational experience students will remember for a lifetime

As society shifts to a more sedentary lifestyle, we risk losing a vital connection to and awareness of the natural world surrounding us. Montana Outdoor Science Academy (MOSA) addresses this by moving education outside the classroom. Our unique model is dynamic, engaging, authentic, personalized and enriching experiential learning.

We offer personalized experiences with small, private groups, where each student has the opportunity to ask questions, learn directly from field experts, and enjoy a once in a lifetime. Choose from our 5-day/4-night, 4-day/3-night packages, or customize your own journey
