Want kids to learn about the outdoors?
Then "Go Outside”!
Bring your students to our three-day "Go Outside” adventure that allows students to learn about nature in nature. Students will hear from the experts. Some are environmental educators, some are former science teachers, some are naturalists, some are re-enactors. All are trained well and have a genuine passion for passing on what they know and helping people feel ‘at-home’ in the outdoors. Pinecrest provides the entire program for your students - classes, all materials, meals, and evening activities. We will also help you plan your trip to Pinecrest and meet as necessary with students, teachers, chaperones, and parents.For just $90 per person, each student will receive:
- 14 class hours
- 7 meals plus snacks
- 2 nights lodging
- 2 evening programs
- t-shirt
