Our 2025 Special Project

Raise your paddle at the Royal Bash to support HEF and Hopkins Public Schools’ annual special project benefiting Hopkins students, “Outdoor Opportunities." 

Each year, we partner with Hopkins Public Schools on a project that will have an impact across grade levels. This year, our Outdoor Opportunities special project will ignite a passion in Hopkins students to reach new heights by developing outdoor and leadership skills, building community, and experiencing joy and connection to the natural world with activities like camping, hiking, canoeing, and more.

“Through this project, our Hopkins students will have hands-on and experiential learning experiences that cannot be replicated within the walls of a traditional classroom. Outdoor learning brings academic concepts to life. It encourages creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and connectedness with their local and global environment."

- Karl Schroeder, Hopkins High School Physical Education and Health Education teacher
