Outdoor Education at La Foret

Outdoor education is not a single subject but a synthesis of all school disciplines, understandings, and skills. More than simply the teaching of school subjects outdoors, it is the use of the environment to help teach art, mathematics, science, social studies and communications in a way that helps the student understand the relationships between these subjects, the environment, and humankind. The specific goals of outdoor education may include self-realization, civic responsibility, environmental education and responsibility, and understanding diversity. It provides firsthand experience with the world around us and an unparalleled opportunity to learn directly from nature without the intervention of TV and technology.

La Foret is the perfect setting for your outdoor education program. Our 400+ acres, cabins and classroom spaces, trails, trees, meadow and ropes course offer the teacher a myriad of learning opportunities for students of all ages.
