Outdoor Discovery Program

The Outdoor Discovery Program was founded upon and is based on the following principles:

• Nature is inherently educational.

• Learning is deepened through integration and an understanding of interconnectedness.

• The complete educational triad consists of parents, teachers, and students.

• Children are innately curious about the world.

• Children thrive when they are pursuing an interest.

• Volunteerism and community involvement leads to happiness and self-awareness.

• Children want and need to develop problem-solving skills.

• Academic rigor can be compatible with hands-on, project-based learning.

• Parent involvement is an essential component of a child’s educational process.
