Outdoor learning has many benefits for school communities. Science, math, art, social studies, language arts, and more subjects can be taught outside. Students can see the physical connection between their education and the world around them, by learning outdoors. Students will build important life skills, like dressing for the weather, by learning outdoors regularly.
