What families say
“I am convinced that if my son had not attended The Outdoor School he would not have adjusted to Bailey Middle School as well as he did. He has always been uncomfortable that he was ‘different’ than other children; now he has confidence and feels secure in his identity. It was his trip to The Outdoor School that gave him his confidence.” — Mother, 1 year after her son attended TOS
“I learned that I can do anything if I put my mind to it.” — 6th grader, Young Scientists Program
“I learned that whenever there is fear, there is reward. I usually try to step out of my comfort zone but I am usually stopped by fear. The Outdoor School will help me become a person with more experience and knowledge.” — Student- Fall '22
