Outdoor Lab
The mission of the Outdoor Education Laboratory (Outdoor Lab) program is to enhance and enrich student learning as an integral part of sixth-grade curricula by providing opportunities for hands-on, experiential, authentic learning in an outdoor setting. In addition, Outdoor Lab fosters opportunities for student growth in environmental stewardship through an enhanced awareness, appreciation, and sense of responsibility for the environment, themselves and others.
