Outdoor Schools are powerful experiences for kids! These immersive programs are important sources of science education and academic enrichment, they help students develop positive connections to nature, foster awareness for the outdoors, and promote environmental stewardship.

From the prairies of Eastern Washington to the Puget Sound, to all the forests and mountains in between, we Washingtonians are lucky to live in such a beautiful place! At Outdoor Schools WA, we believe every student deserves a week outdoors to learn and we have funding to help.
Outdoor Schools WA has funding available to help 20,000 5th and 6th graders get to residential outdoor school programs this year. Reach out to us for more information about this reimbursement program!

As we recover from the pandemic, outdoor learning helps youth develop emotional and social skills such as confidence, autonomy, leadership and community. Transformative experiences in nature are more important than ever!
At Outdoor Schools WA, our mission is to get every 5th or 6th grader to a residential outdoor school experience, where they are immersed in nature, build connections with their classmates, and experience their classroom science concepts coming to life in the great outdoors.
@GovInslee @BillNye@MSHInstitute Every student should have an opportunity to have a week out in nature! We are excited for the work ahead-along with @AWSP_Principals
