pro- D’s for Educators
We believe that what's best taught in a classroom should remain there, but we also recognize the untapped potential for immersive learning experiences outdoors. Our programs inspire educators to explore the natural world as an extension of their classrooms, providing tools to engage students in a way that not only deepens understanding but also instills a lifelong appreciation for the environment.
Join us at Columbia Outdoor School, where we guide teachers on a transformative journey, unlocking the vast possibilities of outdoor education while staying firmly rooted in academic standards and curriculum goals. It's time to THINK OUTSIDE of your four walls and into the boundless classroom of nature.
