Outdoor School in Parks
by Anchorage Park Foundation

Outdoor School is learning through experience and exploration! Our goal is to cultivate lifelong stewardship of public lands in Alaska through place-based education. Outdoor School is a 2-day, immersive school experience, for 5th graders within the Anchorage School District. Students spend two full school days in their nearest local park learning outdoor skills, recreation activities, history, science, and social-emotional skills. Currently programs are held for 6 weeks in the fall and 6 weeks in the spring, serving over 700 students.
