These students experience a full day of experiential learning opportunities where they participate in activities that support nest generation science standards, while providing an opportunity to see themselves as successful scientists and belonging in nature. This programming also provides a series of week-long summer day camp experiences for area students; 10 percent of the students participate via a scholarship program. 71488 Salmon in the Classroom (SITC) is a program of Columbia Springs in partnership with Clark Public Utilities. It was created in 1991 by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to provide students for hands-on environmental education. By studying salmon, their habitats, and water quality, students discover the interrelationships of species within their local watershed. Students ultimately learn how to care for the health of their own environment by learning how to protect salmon habitat. All schools, public and private, throughout Clark County are eligible to participate in the Salmon in the Classroom Program. In 2024, we served over 40 schools throughout the County which included in person lessons and fish release events. 449 Repair Clark County is a program that is supported by grant funding and powered by volunteers. Partnering with local agencies, Repair Clark County (RCC) organizes events at local community spaces throughout the County where anyone can bring broken household items to be repaired by a team of skilled volunteer fixers. These free community events often include multi-lingual interpretation to ensure accessibility for all participants. After pausing in 2023 due to a shortfall in grant funding, the programs was redesigned and successfully relaunched in 2024 as a volunteer-led initiative. 449 842762 true true false false false false true false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 14 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true true true false false false X X Wendy Smith 3608820936 12208 SE EVERGREEN HWY VANCOUVER WA 98683 X Tom Musser Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Lampe Past Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Allison Kinney Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shannon Turk Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ed Barnes Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Collins Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Josy Wright Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Meredith Lynch Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wendy Smith Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rian Sallee Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Barnes Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Crystal Wulff Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nelson Holmberg Chairman 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 72740 603795 676535 Summer camps & field trip 713990 73694 73694 Workshops 611600 31 31 73725 10088 10088 0 0 400 122 278 278 278 0 31491 22319 9172 0 0 0 769798 84091 0 0 0 0 0 0 357216 314350 35722 7144 0 25477 22420 2548 509 39961 35166 3996 799 0 0 0 0 0 489 489 38391 36138 1878 375 3195 3195 0 17524 15421 1753 350 0 15460 13605 1546 309 0 0 0 0 0 833 733 83 17 14007 12326 1401 280 PROGRAM EQUIP & SUPPLIES 376605 376605 Supplies for Educational 4543 4543 Mileage and Auto 2756 2756 OFFICE SUPPLIES 1805 1588 181 36 5986 3916 1428 642 904248 842762 51025 10461 67413 46122 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 772201 20535 752500 751666 318164 187219 0 0 0 2726 16060 1140803 1001067 15752 11712 15752 11712 X 84424 47332 1040627 942023 1125051 989355 1140803 1001067 X -134450 -1246 X false false false X 495906 1011263 1007367 2718930 676535 5910001 0 0 495906 1011263 1007367 2718930 676535 5910001 0 5910001 3877 3657 4644 11048 10088 33314 0 0 5943315 0.99440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X 1 3 1 true false 750000 750000 21486 19820 1666 715 715 751666 CREDIT CARD PAYABLE 4297 FIELD TRIP FEES 3220 PAYROLL LIABILITIES 4195 11712 X X X X X X X false Hooked on Nature 26324 26324 20244 KIDS FISHING FESTIVAL 5095 5095 2075 31419 31419 22319 22319 9100 Nancy Barnes Director Clark Co Contribution false Rich McConaghy Director City of Vancouver Contri false Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b Committees do not act with authority on behalf of the governing body; suggestions are presented to the Board for approval.
