Join us April 2-3 for Vandal Giving Day 2024! Details coming soon
McCall Field Campus
McCall Outdoor Science School

At the University of Idaho's McCall Outdoor Science School(MOSS), we seek to inspire and engage learners from across Idaho and the US. At MOSS thousands of K12 students connect with the natural world using hands-on exploration and scientific inquiry. For 20 years our graduate students have come to fine-tune the skills needed to become natural resource leaders, educators, and scientists. 


It's a great mix, it works and we could not do it without funding support.


Please consider making a gift to strengthen our legacy and extend opportunities for hands-on natural resource education.


Think about this–$300 will allow one K12 student to come to MOSS for the week. $60 will cover their cost for one day.


Three funds are available for your support:

McCall Field Campus Excellence Fund–our current strategic priorities: K12 program assistance.


McCall Field Campus Program Excellence Endowment–long-term financial security for our programs.


Support the Campus–current infrastructure and campus improvements and needed maintenance.
