outdoor education
Wilderness-based instruction
Outdoor education is teaching and learning that takes place in natural environments rather than classrooms.
The approach uses direct experience with nature—hiking, camping, wilderness skills—to develop environmental awareness, self-reliance, and group cooperation.
The school's outdoor education program takes students backpacking for a week each fall.
