Ever wonder how learning how to identify wild animal scat and tie a trucker’s hitch knot could help your students become more connected to themselves and each other? Come find out why outdoor education presents a unique opportunity for students to develop leadership skills, deepen peer relationships, and make progress in their ongoing work of self actualization.
Participants will take away concrete activities to use and skills to teach students, as well as ideas and strategies for taking your classroom outdoors.
Skills and techniques presented will be those used by the AMC’s Youth Opportunities Program and the Boston Bedford Outdoor Connections program (BBOC), in which Boston-resident and Bedford-resident 5th graders take a series of outdoor leadership classes in preparation for a spring overnight trip to Mt. Cardigan, New Hampshire.
