Our goal is to impact student connection to and curiosity in the natural world.

Public & Charter Schools

We provide adapted curriculum that fits the scheduling and site needs of the schools we partner with.  Our specialty is providing skills based, highly engaging curriculum that is 'reverse engineered' to incorporate relevant concepts from science and history.  Instructors are trained in inquiry based pedagogy integrating experiential learning, demonstration, discussion and experimentation. Our instructional modules include but are not limited to Experiential/Hands On exercises with the following:

  • Animal behavior and habitat through Shelter building (improvised and primitive)

  • Chemistry/Ecology/Anthropology through Fire building (camping and primitive)

  • Geography/Ecosystems through Navigation and Orienteering (contemporary and natural types)

  • Engineering and Materials through Cordage and Knot Craft

  • Fish biology through fishing

  • Wilderness First Aid (wound care, splinting, shock care etc.)

  • Fauna/Botany through Foraging

  • Animal behavior and anatomy through Tracking

  • Woody Plant Anatomy/dissection through Knife Craft

  • Signaling and emergency preparedness

  • Indigenous Skills/Technologies

  • Engineering through Indigenous/Traditional Traps

  • Nature Art and Creative Engineering

  • Communication through Story Telling

  • Science of Ballistics through Archery and Sling Shot

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 strive to have our curriculum satisfy standards set forth by the State. Our instructor team is professional and capable of both excellent instruction and effective group management (not to mention rich and relavant skill sets that extend in diverse ways).  Many of them bring substantial life experience to the job which provides added performance and richness for our school groups.

As a mobile provider we take pride in our ability to create access to ODS for all schools.  In 2023 >80% of the schools we partnered with were Title 1 Schools.  We know that it can be substantial extra bandwidth for schools to execute on an ODS plan and we provide a straightforward, google drive based system for setting up schedules, groupings and logistical details.   See samples of documents we provide schools to complete/fill out here.  Prep Questions for Schools - Study Group School Sheet

ODS for Homeschooling Groups & 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.
