Why Outdoor Education Matters

Outdoor learning helps foster the development of creativity, problem-solving, independence, and confidence. 

Outdoor learning "stimulates brain function and development" in addition to seeing "the learning still happening even after [a] trip has concluded" as an individual shares and recounts the experience for peers, family and friends."

"Outdoor adventure education experiences can also help participants shift their perception toward viewing learning as fun and toward understanding that the best learning involves initiative by the learner."
