Experience a one-of-a-kind, completely customized science learning opportunity! OMSI offers three different outdoor school sites with varied curricula all aligned with Oregon’s content standards and benchmarks. It’s an experience your students will never forget!
The days begin with an early morning walk and breakfast, followed by five hours of field study, getting up close and personal with your customized topics. It’s back to camp in the early afternoon for a little rest and relaxation followed by interest groups. These 90–minute group sessions allow students to delve deeper into more focused topics ranging from survival skills to the formation of fossils. Students then unwind with some free time and a homecooked meal followed by an evening program, which might include a bat slide show or a night hike. Days end with the time-honored camp tradition of songs and skits around the campfire.

One great feature of Outdoor Science School is the amount of choice you have in designing an outdoor experience that works for your particular interests and styles. For example, for each day of your visit, you choose field study topics, including cultural history, ecological mapping techniques, and many others. You also select from a long list of interest groups, which are short classes that meet after field study. Topics include paleontology field techniques, spiders and insects, and aquatic study. Evening programs occur between dinner and campfire and run the gamut from a slide show about bats to Eco-Jeopardy.
