Our Philosophy
At Outdoor Classroom, our mission is to lead transformative learning experiences that help teachers foster self-discovery and natural curiosity in their students.
Our Vision
Our vision is to share the wonder of transformative learning with every student. We aim to inspire the future stewards of our planet to discover themselves and the world around them through scenic campuses that encourage adventure, exciting and personalized programming, and our highly qualified, fun-loving team!
Our Values
At Outdoor Classroom, we abide by the four Cs: communication, cooperation, commitment, and care. These four tenets guide us in all that we do, serving as the foundation for our philosophy. Many educators we’ve worked with have adopted the four Cs for use in their classrooms to foster teamwork and encourage collaborative problem-solving.
At Outdoor Classroom, we immerse students in authentic, real-world, hands-on activities in spectacular natural settings. Students enthusiastically share how much they’ve learned about themselves, their peers, and how life-impacting their time at Outdoor Classroom was.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
At the Outdoor Classroom, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment for students and staff.
As educators, we encourage students to think critically, act with compassion, and engage with the world around them. We also recognize our responsibility to reflect on our own practices and ensure that our program is welcoming to all.
Implementing policies that promote respect and equity is an ongoing effort, and we will continue working toward creating a more inclusive Outdoor Classroom for all.
