1. Organization

Outdoor School has been running in Aberdeen for 17 years this spring. Outdoor School has taught over 3,000 sixth graders about their environment by means of high school leaders. This is a program modeled after MESD Outdoor School.

Description

Outdoor School in Aberdeen was started in 1997 with a batch of Student Leaders and Grizzzly, who modeled this program after the MESD Outdoor School Program in Portland, OR, that he had worked for prior to starting teaching biology at Aberdeen High School. Outdoor School takes sixth graders to YMCA Camp Bishop for 3 days and 2 nights to teach them about Plants, Animals, Water, Soil, and conservation. Hand selected High School Student Leaders act as cabin leaders, and teachers. They lead small groups of sixth graders through hands on science based experiments in the field to teach them about the world they live in. Outdoor School is funded through donations, fundraising, and PTO contributions from the elementary schools.
