The Glacier Institute's Big Creek Outdoor Education Center will be featured on NBC's Today Show on Friday, July 1, as part of a larger segment about three national parks.
The Whitehouse Post, a creative film and video-editing facility, gave the Glacier Institute a $5,000 grant to conduct a week-long outdoor camp for 15 underprivileged teens from the Hutton Settlement in Spokane, Wash. Their week at the camp will be shown in the Today Show feature.
"We could not be happier that the kids are getting a week of learning, fun and adventure at one of the most beautiful places on earth," the Whitehouse Post's director of operations, Lacey Walsh, said.
