At Outpost Echo, guests step into the world of the GreenKeepers, an organization founded in a “when” that has not yet arrived. The GreenKeepers have a simple message to our present world – keep going. The GreenKeepers were established in a future where the world has united to overcome ecological issues. While there are no simple fixes for the future, they have the goal of encouraging humanity to keep learning, keep creating, and keep fighting for a better world. Instead of a hopeless message warning about a future that must be avoided, the GreenKeepers encourage guests of any age or ability to cultivate a world they want to attain. The GreenKeepers value creativity, education, and courage. Guests can experience the Outpost in a variety of ways. Guests may choose to simply walk through the Gardens, an area that celebrates humanity’s artistic bond with nature. This rotating sculpture garden allows eco-artists to create pieces that celebrate nature and the collaborative beauty of art. Guests can also learn about natural processes and sustainable farming techniques on the Educational Farm. Guests learn fundamentals of the natural world and discover practical ways they can care for the Earth, individually and as a community. The Outpost will include outdoor activities such as a zip line course and Adventure Maze. Finally, guests can experience the Outpost on a more story-driven level. On the Story Path, they’ll interact with members of the GreensKeepers throughout the campus to defeat a mysterious AI-driven enemy, the LocusT, that seek to alter the future and instill despair in the minds of humans. Guests must work together to drive out this enemy and save the Outpost.
