Saginaw Public School District Admin team joined us this past Monday for a day of team building. They worked hard as a team to develop better communication, reinforced trust, and laughed their way through a photo hunt. Stronger teams for stronger communities. #SISD #HartleyOEC

Summer school at Hartley is always a good time when our students are playing games, visiting with our animals, and exploring their natural surroundings! #HartleyOEC #SISD




Summer school has arrived @HartleyOEC! Excited to partner once again with Saginaw Public Schools to offer a unique blend of hands-on learning and exploration. Students are connecting with nature, fostering an understanding of the environment while building academic skills.





Everyone had a great time was had by all during White Pine's summer school trip to Hartley. The group focused on building trust, effective communication, and self-awareness. Evidently, taking a group photo of teens is its own team-building activity. 😉#HartleyOEC #SISD




Carrollton Middle School brought over 20 students to Hartley for a week-long STEM and Leadership Camp. Students searched the water for aquatic life, learned to shoot archery, and put their leadership skills to the test. We can't wait for an even better camp next year! #HartleyOEC
