Daily Update: Outdoor camp hopes to amp up their facility as safe coworking spaces

The Outdoor Education Laboratory (OEL) in Stilwell, KS hopes to provide local organizations additional space to gather safely both outside as well as inside. Their action plan includes repurposing existing buildings with furniture and equipment to allow multiple people to work while staying socially distant. They also hope to equip several outdoor areas with heating lamps and fire pits around the camp.

“The central theme of the discussion was about providing a safe space for people to come together in order to help them serve the various populations – internal and external groups. I really appreciate the work of providing outdoor space for this to happen and look forward to seeing their expansion.”

– Alicia Sanchez, Facilitator
