SCHOOL GROUPS
OUTDOOR EDUCATION
BUILT AROUND YOUR SCHOOL.
We work with schools to design and lead outdoor education programs built around their students, learning goals, culture, schedule, and community. Rather than asking schools to fit into a predetermined trip, we build the experience around what you want the program to accomplish.
OUR APPROACH
YOUR SCHOOL LEADS THE WHY.
WE LEAD THE HOW.
Every school approaches outdoor education differently. Some are looking to strengthen relationships and build community. Others want students to develop leadership, outdoor skills, independence, environmental understanding, or stronger connections between classroom learning and the world beyond campus.
We begin by listening. Once we understand your goals, we work with your team to design a program that brings those priorities to life through meaningful experiences outdoors.
WHAT WE BRING
EXPERIENCE WHERE
IT MATTERS.
01
CUSTOM PROGRAM DESIGN
Programs are designed around your students and educational goals. We can help develop the itinerary, activities, level of challenge, group structure, learning opportunities, and progression of responsibility throughout the experience.
02
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Students learn by doing. Programs can incorporate outdoor skills, leadership, environmental learning, cultural exploration, team development, reflection, and curriculum connections while keeping students actively engaged in the experience.
03
EXPERIENCED OUTDOOR EDUCATORS
Our programs are led by experienced outdoor education professionals who understand both technical outdoor skills and the complexities of working with young people. They teach, supervise, facilitate group development, and adapt the program as students and conditions change.
04
PROGRAM LOGISTICS
We can manage the operational details that make field programs work: transportation, accommodations, campsites, equipment, meals, local activity providers, communication systems, and other program logistics.
05
PREPARATION + FIELD KNOWLEDGE
Preparation happens before students arrive. Routes, activity sites, campsites, logistics, communication systems, emergency access, student needs, and contingency plans are reviewed as part of the program planning process.
06
RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is built into program design and field leadership. Our instructors use active supervision, sound judgment, appropriate group management, environmental assessment, communication systems, and established emergency procedures throughout the program.
Wild Traveler field instructors hold current Wilderness First Responder certification or higher and CPR/AED certification.
PROGRAM POSSIBILITIES
DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.
DIFFERENT GOALS.
A school program might be a multi-day expedition, an outdoor skills progression, a grade-level retreat, a leadership experience, a place-based learning program, or something entirely different. The activities serve the goals of the program, not the other way around.
