Your Outdoor University (YOU)

“Wonderful, imaginative, enthusiastic, informative, thought-provoking, entertaining, kind-hearted... everything I had hoped for and more!”

-Cynthia, Parent and Teacher

Your Outdoor University is a unique experiential education program that is designed to support traditional classroom learning by showing creative and practical applications of subjects taught in school. Students enjoy the informal outdoor atmosphere and open themselves to new growth experiences. YOU returns students to the wonders of the great outdoors… a refreshing break from their all-too-often flat-screen worlds.

All facets of Your Outdoor University programming (from classes, field groups, and evening activities to meals, music, and games) have been specifically developed to enhance the learning process. Motivation, creativity, goal setting, cooperation, social interaction, self-confidence, compassion, leadership and many other traditional virtues are experienced and examined.

“Thank you for being there when I needed you. You were the best friend I ever had. Thank you, I miss you a lot. Your friend…” -Latina, Age 10
