“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” Though Albert Einstein did not attend TPA, he shares this mindset with some who do: Tamsin and Hazel Hurlbut. While on a hike with their family, they decided that TPA was lacking a club centered around the great outdoors.

“I think that I started it because I love the outdoors,” said Tamsin, “and I’ve grown up in a family where I have the resources and my dad has the skills… So I think it’s cool to teach people while they’re young how to be outdoors – how to build a fire, escape a bear, things like that.”

The club is sponsored by Mr. Keating. They try to meet twice a month on Fridays. The club is open to all grades. “I think that nature is really grounding for a human being, especially for students.”

Though Tamsin has ambitious ideas, she said, “For now I just want to teach people skills and have fun.”
