Wildwood Celebrates 30 years of Laughter, Leadership and Learning . . .
In October of 2006, we had an outstanding turn out for the Wildwood Outdoor Education Center's 25th Anniversary despite the weather.  Here are some of the photos taken during the celebration.

A Dream Come True
Kansas City philanthropist Marjorie Powell Allen wanted to provide outdoor programs for children.  In 1962, she and Bob Allen purchased 150 acres near LaCygne, Kansas to operate . . .
