Capital Campaign for a new field trip vans!
JULY 2025: After searching for the perfect vehicle in our price range, we finally found a second Ford Transit van, which we purchased from a family in Billings. Thanks to family and friends of our staff and board members, who were able to get the van from Billings to Polson, DDC staff only had to drive as far as Polson to pick it up! Meet Sylvia (the silver van), and her buddy Greg (the grey van).
JULY 2023 : After a six-month capital campaign, we were able to purchase the first of two field trip vehicles! Three of our staff members drove down to Missoula in early July to purchase a 2016 Ford Transit passenger van, which seats 12. After it was registered, insured, and had car seats safely installed, it was ready to use for field trips! Thank you to ALL our donors who helped us achieve this incredible goal!
