As you may have heard, the Schmidt Center, commonly referred to as Camp Schmidt, in Prince George's County, is in danger of being cut out of the budget next school year. This budget was proposed by Superintendent Hite, approved by the school board, and is currently in the hands of the Prince George's County Council. The Schmidt Center is a close partner of AFF, and as a partner outdoor education organization, we are deeply concerned about the ramifications of their closure for the students of Prince George's County and the precedent this sets for outdoor education throughout the state of Maryland. There has recently been a groundswell of media attention being given to this situation, so we hold out hope that with enough attention and concern, the tides can be reversed.
