Session 2 Scouts testing out their handmade 4-cup wind anemometers against Mount Washington’s notoriously high winds (their creations all survived!).

MOUNT WASHINGTON — While the Mount Washington Observatory is-known for its staffed weather station atop New England’s highest peak, the non-profit’s valley-based educators have seen immense growth in weather and climate education programs. These include in-school, after-school and field trip programs to the summit. In August, MWOBS educators piloted their first summer camp, Storm Scouts: Extreme Weather Camp.

“Storm Scouts was so amazing — we were so excited to be able to offer summer programming for the first time in many years and be able to provide an educational, no-cost resource for the local youth,” said Brian Fitzgerald, MWOBS director of education.
