Outdoor Education

Are you a teacher who’s looking for a great way to make your kids’ science curriculum come alive? Check out our Outdoor School program! We are proud to be an approved host and program site through Outdoor Schools Washington! This means we have passed a rigorous site and program review that ensures we will offer the highest quality educational and program experience to all participants!

We can offer anything from a 2 day/1 night outdoor school, up to a 5 day/4 night program. Not sure what is the best fit for your school? Let’s talk!

Here is a sampling of the types of classes we can offer:

  • Wilderness Survival
  • Water and Aquatic Life Studies
  • Soil Studies
  • Plant/Tree Studies
  • Orienteering (compass use and mapping)
  • Bird Studies
  • Fire Building (fire science, conservation, wilderness survival skills)
  • Night Hike (nocturnal/diurnal animal studies)
  • Astronomy

Interested in a topic you don’t see? Let us know and we’ll see what we can create for you!

In addition to educational classes, we also offer a variety of exciting recreational activities that will thrill and challenge your students!

Recreational Options Include:

  • Challenge Course (Zipline, High Ropes)
  • Archery
  • Camp Store (Merchandise & Snacks)
  • Group Games

We can say from experience that a week (or half-week) at Outdoor School will not only be a highlight of your students’ year, but for many of them it is an experience they will remember for the rest of their life!

For more information on this exciting program, please contact our Outdoor Education Director, Joel Whitehead.
