Outdoor Education is a lifelong learning process that increases your child’s awareness, relationship, and dependence on the environment and its systems.

Some of the benefits of outdoor education are:

• Strengthens students’ sense of empowerment to make a difference in their community as stewards of the environment. 
• Improves students’ academic achievement and growth through experiential learning and application. 
• Gets students outdoors and active in learning. 
• Activates and increases students’ physical, mental, and social health. 
• Improves learning enjoyment by changing the pace and location of learning. 
• Connects families and the community to the school through involvement. 
• Builds culture and climate through a focus on common language, values, and purpose.

Community-based learning gives many opportunities to students and gives them a direct experience of the wider world to facilitate connections to community needs and how to meet them.
