About Us
A learning environment for all!
Outdoor and environmental education allows students and adults to become mindful and informed about the natural world through experiential learning. Our outdoor classrooms support academic and social skills while learning from the natural world.
Groups build confidence, while also learning to be responsible, respectful, appreciative, and understanding of the environment and their peers.
Our outdoor classrooms are located in Nassau and Suffolk Counties and offer a wide variety of educational outdoor activities. We serve all schools, scout groups, home shools, athletic teams, clubs, colleges/universities, corporations, and many more.

A Cross-Curricular Approach
Our naturalist did a phenomenal job of checking the students' prior knowledge and then adjusted his content to their level. You could feel his passion for the geology topics that he covered. Many students referred to this being the best trip that they have taken while in high school!
