Learn outdoors.
Wooded grounds, creekside surroundings and gathering spaces offer a beautiful setting for small-group science observations, navigation, radio skills and hands-on learning.
Black Box Fields × B & K Cabins. A partnership bringing real-world science, radio communications, technical training and Mississippi hospitality together on a wooded retreat near Gloster.
January 2027: We plan to begin select in-person pilot workshops at B & K Cabins. Workshop requests are welcome; individual class dates, capacity and packages are not yet confirmed.

Wooded grounds, creekside surroundings and gathering spaces offer a beautiful setting for small-group science observations, navigation, radio skills and hands-on learning.
A family-operated cabin with kitchen, sleeping space, bathhouse, picnic areas, laundry, grill and firepit. Cabin reservations are handled separately by the host.
Our planned on-campus Black Box Fields cabin will follow the same philosophy: learn in the field, prepare meals yourself or arrange catering, then unwind nearby.
Black Box Fields provides the educational concept and will coordinate proposed sessions with qualified instructors. B & K Cabins is our property and hospitality partner. Neither lodging nor class attendance is included until the host and Academy confirm arrangements.
Pack for a furnished cabin and an outdoor, hands-on learning environment—not an empty rental.
The host advertises bed linens, bathroom paper products, dishware, kitchen utensils, basic soaps and laundry equipment. Check the booking details for current amenities and capacity.
Our suggestion: mix cabin cooking with optional catered meals. Keep breakfast simple on some days, arrange a catered lunch after a field workshop, and cook dinner together if that suits your group.
Figures supplied by the partner discussion; final menu, headcount basis, tax, delivery and meal pricing must be confirmed before booking. Catering is optional and not included in class fees.
The cabin provides an electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, cookware and dishes. An outdoor charcoal grill and picnic space allow easy group meals.
Interested in radio communications, field navigation, drone fundamentals, mycology, 3D printing or another course? Tell us the exact class, date and time you prefer. We will review instructor availability, venue capacity and whether we can accommodate your request.
More than lodging: this partnership connects Mississippi nature tourism with hands-on STEM education and practical safety skills. Visitors can enjoy Brushy Creek, the Homochitto National Forest region and locally hosted instruction—subject to approved class plans and appropriate supervision.
