Welcome to the 2025 Outdoor Learning Conference

Friday May 9, 2025 11:00am - 12:15pm MDT

This workshop focuses on teambuilding through hands on learning activities. It uses relational approaches to help create space for individuals to work together and engage in activities that supports students’ sense of belonging and well-being. These activities are most beneficial when implemented outdoors. They can be adapted for a wide range of ages. The activities encourage communication, reflection, expression and collaboration. They will show students the importance of working together and supporting one another which is essential in educational settings and contributes to students’ well-being. When students feel included and have strong connections and relationships with their peers they are more likely to be successful in other areas of learning.
