EPISODES:
In this episode, Lauren and Erin explore outdoor education through two perspectives: the curiosity of children (because, surprise, they were kids once too!) and the observations of adults. Lauren has taken a trip to the Tomorrow River Community Charter School and Erin visited The Boston School Forest in Stevens Point Wi. Together, they discuss what makes outdoor learning so impactful and the lessons they brought back from both visits.
