Outdoor Classroom registration for the 2022-23 school year is now open!

During their day at the Gorge students will participate in a variety of educational stations and activities selected by their teacher and enjoy lunch in the beauty of nature. Students will be provided with a workbook, clipboard and pencil when they arrive at the Gorge. The workbook reinforces what they learn and can be taken back to the classroom for review and even given a grade. 

Available Outdoor Classroom Stations:

• Weather, erosion and fossils
• Biology - Water lab and food chain/web
• Water quality testing
• Landforms in watershed
• Land ecosystems - geocaching
• Water cycle
