Why Outdoor Education?
Appreciating and caring for the environment is an issue that cannot be ignored. Rather than ignoring environmental awareness in education, Christian schools and home school groups should be addressing the issue and leading students to a greater knowledge and appreciation of the natural world that God designed, created, and sustains. As members of God’s family we are called to be caretakers of the earth.
"And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and guard and keep it.”
Genesis 2:15
Students may gain much knowledge about God's creation in the classroom, but there is no adequate substitute for actually going outdoors to observe and explore forests, ponds, wildlife, wildflowers, night sounds, and more.
