Organization Overview

The Outdoor School is an outdoor education program designed to supplement the curriculum taught in the classroom. Serving students in grades 4-12, The Outdoor School offers a host of different courses, both academic and adventure based, that will allow you to customize a field trip that will meet the needs of your students. All courses are TEKS correlated and uniquely designed to foster students’ appreciation and use of the natural components of our property.

Along with the academic components of our classes, students also get to experience the recreational and social elements of having the program at a summer camp. For some of the students we serve, being able to pick out their bunk, seeing the stars at night, or even roasting a marshmallow over a campfire might be a first time experience.
