The Woods Project runs weekend trips at different sites near Houston. Our trips include everything from backpacking to canoeing and kayaking to pulling invasive species or planting trees for service projects.

Here are our Spring 2018 Weekend Trips. Pick the weekend(s) that suits your schedule:

Mar 23-25th Camping at Brazos Bend State Park

April 20-22 Canoe/Kayak at Huntsville State Park
April 20-22 Backpacking at Sam Houston National Forest
You can see the trip detail here: http://www.thewoodsproject.org/program-calendar/

We depend 100% on our volunteers to come out with us and have a great time along with the students. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and range in age from 22 to 78 years old. All that we ask of volunteers is that they are willing to come out, enjoy the outdoors and share their stories with our students.

The students do most of the tasks such as cooking and cleaning so volunteers are really there to supervise and be mentors. We provide all of the gear and food for the weekend so all you have to bring are your personal clothes and an open mind. Some of our volunteers have years of experience in the outdoors and some have never slept in a tent. We are flexible and want to work with you to make sure you have a great time giving back to the community. Our volunteers often tell us that they grow just as much as the students while on our trips.

We are a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization focused on creating a community where math is cool, helping students find their joy of math, and encouraging kids to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) careers.

We do all of this by holding fun, social, team based math competitions. This isn't your typical classroom math. Our problems are challenging and expose students to new math ideas and concepts.

We emphasize continued learning and send participants home with solutions that will help them learn and grow in their math and problem solving skills.

We encourage students to solve problems in a way that make sense to them. There is no "right" or "wrong" way. There may be quicker or more elegant ways but that doesn't make one "right" and one "wrong."

We want students to see math as it is in the real world. Real world math involves working with others. As such, each of our contests has a team round where students work together. They can bounce ideas for how to solve the problems and check each other's work. This has two benefits: 1) students learn to show their work because it benefits them to do so, and 2) students learn to listen and work with their teammates to solve problems - just as they will in the real world.

So, come math with us and help us show kids how much fun math is!
