You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''McCall Outdoor Science School''' (MOSS) is a year-round learning center that serves over 2500 Idaho K-12 students annually in residential and outreach settings.  Field instructors for outdoor science programs are [[University of Idaho]] College of Natural Resources graduate students completing a certificate and master's degree in [[environmental education]].  The McCall Outdoor Science School also offers programs open to the public including Field Seminars, Faculty Lectures, and Community Partnerships.  MOSS is Idaho's only residential outdoor science school.

The program is located at the ((convert|14|acre|m2|sing=on)) University of Idaho McCall Field Campus on Payette Lake and is operated through a partnership between the [[University of Idaho]] College of Natural Resources and Ponderosa State Park.

== History ==
The McCall Outdoor Science School was founded in 2001 by Steve Hollenhorst (University of Idaho College of Natural Resources) and Greg Fizzell (Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute).

A short history of the McCall Field Campus and MOSS is presented below:

1938 - UI secures access to property<br />
1939 - Dining Hall built by Civilian Conservation Corps<br />
1942 - Forestry “Summer Camp” begins<br />
1970s - Cabins and bunkhouses built<br />
1990s - Summer Camp ends, facilities, decline, maintenance backlog grows<br />
2001 - K12 programs started with 35 students in one week of programming<br />
2003 - Grad program started with 8 students <br />
2005 - AmeriCorps program started<br />
2006 - $150K winterization improvements, year-round operation begins<br />
2007 - Community Outreach programs implemented<br />
2007 - Winter residential programs<br />
2008 - NSF EPSCoR grant received for K-12 Science Education<br />
2008 - Land Board grants 3-years to work out land exchange<br />
2009 - Kresge Grant to support Field Campus Master Plan<br />
2009 - FEMA fire mitigation and FireWise grant<br />
2012 - Dr. Lee Vierling becomes Executive Director of MOSS and McCall Field Campus<br />

2013 - New campus architectural master plan completed<br />
2014 - Recipient of Idaho Power 'Powering Lives' grant<ref>3</ref>

== K-12 Program ==
MOSS classes are conducted outdoors, mostly in Ponderosa State Park.  The park's ecosystems include coniferous forest, mountain streams, lake shore, wet meadows, and shrub-steppe environments.  The subject of ecosystem science serves as the context for standards-based study of science, technology, mathematics, and language arts.

Team-building and mutual respect are important components of MOSS field programs. New life skills in communication and group decision-making result when students participate in a series of low-ropes elements. Clear communication, respect, and teamwork are stressed through active metaphor.

== Graduate Program ==
The McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS) graduate program includes several components. Sixteen graduate students serve as field instructors to K-12 student participants while earning 19 University of Idaho graduate course credits and developing a graduate project by partnering with a team of researchers or community members. Most of the work within the first year of the program takes place at the MOSS campus, with additional experience occurring in various schools around the state and at public agencies and nonprofit organizations across Idaho.

== Teacher Education ==
MOSS offers summer and winter Teacher Institute focusing on teaching about topics such as climate, water, biofuels, and [[ecosystem service]]s. K-12 teachers spend a long weekend on MOSS working alongside university scientists to discover current findings in scientific research fields and how these findings can be integrated into the classroom.
