Schools and Universities

Sometimes, the most powerful learning experiences occur outside the classroom.

Our Guided Outings program got students involved in hands-on science and adventure. In addition to hiking, camping and sea kayaking, students collected data for ongoing research projects and interacted with professional scientists.

We worked with educators to ensure our programming complemented standard curriculum and supported STEM learning.

Our student outings generally lasted between 2-10 days, and were designed for students of all levels, K–University. Pricing varied based on length, location, services provided and number of students attending.

 

 

Designing an Outing

We designed projects around your interests, and the needs of the scientific community. We could organize outings almost anywhere, at any time of year.

We encouraged doing something in your “backyard”. This allowed participants to become more familiar with local wildlife, ecology and environmental issues.
