Environmental education does more than bring science to life.
Outdoor learning experiences foster teamwork, nurture the imagination, increase students’ sense of ownership over their learning, and instill a conservation ethic. For more than 25 years, we have been engaging 4th-12th grade students in King County with high-quality, science-based outdoor learning opportunities that support Next Generation Science Standards, and are affordable and fun. We also offer paid high school internships that help youth build real-world skills and learn about green career opportunities.
