Outdoor Education for All

In 2019, the Sound View Camp Outdoor Education program was the "new kid on the block" and just beginning to take off when the pandemic struck. We developed our program to be an affordable option for those shut out of the larger, more established camps because of price or availability. Sound View is pretty remarkable - not fancy - but not set in its ways to keep a school from doing what curriculum/activities are best for their students.

I am so excited that the Outdoor Education for All Bill passed the Legislature. Throughout my forty years of camping, I have seen how kids react to the out-of-doors and know that the hands-on learning of an OEE experience benefits students, teachers, and the future. It was sad to see so many schools cutting back on this worthwhile experience because of the lack of funding. The new bill will hopefully lead to growth of outdoor learning.

I am also happy that pre-pandemic schools are beginning to grab dates for next spring. We have more prime dates, both spring and fall, available for others as well. Please let me know if I can help you get started with planning, a tour of camp, or to answer any questions about our program.
