How our curriculum is designed to meet various NGSS state standards here 

A concise breakdown of the experiential field study activities we offer

​

We pride ourselves on creating long term partnerships with schools such that we can best understand and deliver on the unique values, infrastructure and culture a given district is defined by.  We also work hard to have our curriculum satisfy all or most of the curriculum standards set forth by the State.  We are able to work with relatively large groups in short time segments (ie, 40 kids in a 50 minute lesson) 

​

Homeschooling Groups and Private Schools  - We develop and provide an overnight or day based Outdoor School Week for your Homeschool Group or Private School at your chosen location (we can assist in securing a site).  We can also run expedition/backpacking trips with up to 10 students in a group providing environmental science, experiential learning and life skills.  Our public school curriculum can be adapted to meet the academic needs of your group or we can focus on a more experiential week.
