Outdoor Adventures
Imagine kids in your PE class shooting bows and arrows, learning to fish, setting up a campsite, and learning survival skills instead of playing kickball or shooting hoops. Thanks to the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation, this is already a reality for nearly 2,000 public and private schools across all 50 states and Canada. Outdoor Adventures aligns with national PE standards and can be taught as a standalone course or infused into your existing PE program in any K-12 school. With STEM components and other interdisciplinary activities integrated throughout the curriculum, Outdoor Adventures can also be offered as an agricultural science elective or an out-of-school class.
Each daily lesson is aligned with national education standards and includes:
- Student objectives
- Materials needed
- Resources and web links
- Pre-class materials
- Class activities
