What is Outdoor School?
Outdoor School is an opportunity to get your students fully immersed in  learning about science, nature, art and community through a multi-day/overnight
​adventure.  Outdoor School has been a part of Oregon's education  ​history for over 60 years!  

Since 2017 Measure 99 provides funding for ALL Oregon 5th and/or 6th graders to attend Outdoor School free of cost!  Schools and school districts
​must apply for the state funding from the OSU Extension Service. 

​Please contact us before submitting your application for funding
to ensure appropriate costs are recorded.

Classroom Visits

In addition to the overnight program, when you sign up for Rogue Outdoor School we will schedule pre and post classroom visits.  Leading up to your overnight Outdoor School our instructors will visit your classroom up to 3 times.  This allows us to extend the Outdoor School experience, prepare students for the learning they will participate in while at Camp Latgawa and for our instructors to get to know the students before they come out to camp.  After your overnight ODS experience we will visit your classroom one last time to help students to reflect on their learning and share their ideas for action.

"How does where we are influence who we are"?
​

At ODS students will...

* Contribute their knowledge, skills and passions in collaboration to create group understandings.
* Explore a variety of ways to reflect, share and connect with others.
* Examine the relationship between adaptation and place.
* Reflect on their personal connection to place and recognize the ways they can make an impact.
