Laurie Lawson Outdoor Education Centre Alumni Appreciation Day
About the Alumni Program:
The NLT is introducing a new program this year, inviting students past and present to return to their roots and remember the outdoor fun they had at the Laurie Lawson Outdoor Education Centre (LLOEC). This program has been created to provide a way for students of the local public school board who attended the LLOEC to come together again, meet with old friends, make new ones and enjoy fun filled events with their families; all while supporting the work of the Northumberland Land Trust. Funded in part by the Northumberland Community Futures Development Corporation.
Register as an alumni and become part of a network of people who have experienced the wonderful ecology and unique learning experiences at the LLOEC.
Come have fun again!
