It’s just the place
Situated a short walk away from the Elk Country Visitor Center, the ECCO (Elk Country Campus Outdoors) now named the Jack and Jean Parker Outdoor Classroom, compliments the Center in its LEED “Gold Certified” Designation. This 3,200 square foot educational facility features glass walls that not only provide captivating views of Elk Country but also can be opened to transform the building into a giant outdoor pavilion. In addition, the Parker Outdoor Classroom contains a kitchenette, restrooms, and a towering fireplace made of stone from the Visitor Center’s property. With its beautiful charm and premier elk viewing location, this Building has also become a prestigious destination for weddings, reunions, and other social events when it is not being used for educational purposes.
Year-round educational programs and social events are possible as the Parker Outdoor Classroom is heated by a highly efficient Biomass Boiler. Six heating zones emanate heat from the boiler and lie in an even pattern under the floor–providing comfortable radiant floor heating.
