Earth Guardian Explorers:
Our Outdoor Education Program has four focuses: Environment, Expression, Wilderness and Culture
We spend about 3 hours during our field days participating in structured activities including: Science Experiments, Cultural Lessons, Wilderness Skills Learning, Stewardship Activities, Group Games and Share Circles. The other 2 hours in the field are open for natural exploration, swimming, climbing, hiking, socialization, play, inquiry-led discovery and good conversations.
