Grow Back Stronger
Bring Back the Residential Program at WES
WES Community is sponsoring the “Grow Back Stronger” campaign for permanent and modern student housing. Join the campaign to bring back the residential program at WES! Working with our partners we stand at the threshold of an inspiring new chapter for Whiskeytown Environmental School!
Our Priorities
Replacement of Student Cabins
New Teacher Housing
New Safety/Administration Building
Rehabilitated Dining Hall & Kitchen
Outdoor Teaching Shelters
Sustainable & Accessible Design
Improved Campus Design
Modern & Resilient Underground Utilities
Proposed Plan
The proposed design replaces individual cabins with structures that contain 4 housing units and integrated restrooms with showers.
Structures will be fire-resistant with metal roofs. Inside, buildings will be finished with insulation and drywall and will include fire-suppression systems, heating, and cooling. An additional four-plex is built into the plans for future expansion.
Team partners, Whiskeytown Environmental School Community, the National Park Service, and the Shasta County Office of Education are coordinating to modernize other site assets such as the dining hall, administration office, utility improvements, and road repairs. The Shasta County Office of Education has committed to funding a new Safety-Administration Building.
This plan will enable the resumption of overnight programs providing students with hands-on learning, science education, opportunities for teamwork, and moments that can last a lifetime. Help us “Grow Back Stronger” with your gift.
