Which is the healthier aquatic ecosystem, Springfield Run or the Potomac River? This is the question that will greet biology students at Williamsport High School (WHS) during the first week of the new school year.

Students will leave Claud E Kitchens Outdoor School at Fairview (Fairview Outdoor School) with a love for science and the great outdoors and will see themselves as capable environmental scientists who can make a difference in their own communities.

Ask any student who has visited the Claud E. Kitchens Outdoor School at Fairview in Clear Spring, MD for a favorite memory, and many will recount the climb up the 104-foot fire tower.
