OUT-OF-THE-CLASSROOM EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Outdoor Education can be simply defined as experiential learning in and about the outdoors. There are many benefits for students getting out of the classroom and learning by “doing.” Outdoor Education at Deer Run creates a positive, fun and active educational outdoor experience by promoting student growth through 5 pillars: Courage, Stewardship, Teamwork, Knowledge and Problem-Solving. The Deer Run Camps & Retreats Outdoor Education program is taught and facilitated by highly trained Deer Run staff.
