It’s a wrap for Year Four of the GCP Outdoor Education Program! Here’s a recap of our accomplishments in School Year 2025-2026.

We are grateful for our talented staff members, valued education partner Thomas County School System, community supporters, dedicated volunteers, GCP Foundation board members, all others who help make the GCP mission a reality.

Our mission: to engage and enlighten students through exploration-based experiences that develop a life long appreciation of nature and an understanding that all living things are linked.

Thank you!

GCP’s Reena Coppola and Shelley Nicholls were delighted to lead an interactive study of birds 🐦‍⬛ for Thomasville History Center’s Camp Dawson participants this week. Held on THC grounds🌳, campers learned to identify birds 🦅 🦆🪶and common bird calls 🦉with the Merlin APP on iPads. They also learned how to use binoculars and had a hands-on encounter with a native snake 🐍. Nature study is such fun!
