Using the outdoor classroom allows a variety of learning styles to be addressed efficiently and effectively. Teachers and other professionals alike can use the outdoors to help children and teens solve real life problems. Those in the program also develop practical skills, such as outdoor site development and how to use outdoor activities as therapeutic tools. STUDY OPTIONS Classroom Teacher Summer Field School The summer field school attendance option is designed for K-12 teachers who would like to use outdoor laboratories to enrich the classroom curriculum. Typically, the teacher will attend three consecutive eight-week summer field school sessions in order to complete the degree. Outdoor Professional Intensives These intensive sessions are designed for outdoor professionals (camp directors, naturalists, etc.) who need to continue working while enrolled in classes.
