Have you ever heard of an outdoor school where children spend their days connecting with nature while learning and growing in a holistic way? If not, let me introduce you to a unique education model called Blue Ridge Outdoor School, located in the picturesque Rockbridge County, Virginia.
Inspired by the Scandinavian outdoor education model, Blue Ridge Outdoor School aims to provide children with a hands-on learning experience that nurtures all aspects of their development. Through a curriculum that emphasizes socio-emotional, cognitive, and physical growth, students have the opportunity to explore, play, create, and discover in the great outdoors. One of the key features of Blue Ridge Outdoor School is its focus on whole-child development. Children are encouraged to engage in various activities such as dancing, climbing, painting, writing, building, and more, all while surrounded by the beauty of nature. This immersive learning experience not only enhances academic knowledge but also fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a deep appreciation for the environment.
We like to provide students with opportunities to fully immerse in outdoor activities. Whether it's exploring the forest, building shelters, or studying wildlife, these scenerios provide enriching experiences that are the fundamental elements of childhood development.
There are many other synonyms for"Outdoor" School such as: nature school, forest school, and wilderness school. Each program can be unique and take on its own meaning. At Blue Ridge Outdoor School, we try to offer "outdoor" experiences whether it be in the forest, mountains, nature trails, bike trails, river banks, lakes, and State Parks. There are no limits when you get outside and experience fresh, clean air, and the elements while dressed in proper gear to make your experience safe and enjoyable!
