Tree Fort Board Members
The Tree Fort Children's Museum Board Members work hard to craft an engaging and dynamic environment for children to learn and explore. Our child-centered approach helps children discover and develop their own interests while they play, learn, and grow with us in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our
Story
​
Since filing as a non-profit in November 2017, Tree Fort has been providing children with opportunities to learn and grow through play. Our first board meeting took place the following month, and we hit the ground running with our first event, a Dino Extravaganza. The response we received was overwhelming, and we quickly began planning for our next gathering, the Snow Much Fun event. From there, we have continued to develop new experiences and educational opportunities for children of all ages. After receiving several sponsorships, allowing us to offer mini pop ups and events-- we popped up at the Moses Lake Air Show.
​
In June 2019 the Tree Fort Children’s Museum was awarded a $4000 grant from the Columbia Basin Foundation to build our exhibits and replenish supplies.
​
After much thought and planning, we moved into the Obra Project in downtown Moses Lake, April 2022. This enabled us to provide an independent play space to the public, as well as host monthly pop-up events for nearly 2.5 years at no cost through generous donations from businesses and the community at large. ​ ​
As of August 1, 2024, the Tree Fort closed down this physical location and will be working towards securing more funding and a larger location to serve more families.
​
We are excited about the forward progress of The Tree Fort Children’s Museum! We will continue to pop-up around town with activities for families, and will continue our administration efforts to grow our exhibits and organization to reach the goals outlined in our 5-year plan.
