Customize Your Experience
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.
