Every year, CCMS students participate in a four-day program at Nature’s Classroom Institute (NCI) in New Ulm, Texas. The program immerses them in hands-on learning focused on topics such as Alternative Energy, Business and Economics, Conservation and Stewardship, Environmental Studies, Chemistry, and Engineering.

Why We Need Your Help

The total cost for each student to attend NCI is approximately $500. With about 70 students participating annually, the financial burden is significant for many of our families, with nearly 90% needing assistance to afford the trip. Despite fundraising efforts, some students still miss out on this invaluable experience.

Your sponsorship would ensure that every child, regardless of their financial background, has the opportunity to attend this life-changing program. Funds from students who raise past their $500 goal will go towards trip scholarships.
