THE THREE LEGS OF OUTDOOR EDUCATION FIELD TRIPS
In designing a structure for our backbone organization, Outdoor Education for All, we recognized the need to split up the concepts inherent in outdoor education.
OEFA developed the three legs of outdoor education with Dr. Reid Cross of California State University-Chico. He emphasized the need to integrate and identify California State Standards (CSS) within partner programs. Our partners include those that offer adventure-based programs that align with CSS.

STANDARDS-BASED EXPERIENCE GUIDE
(Stay Tuned)
Our Standards-based Experience Guide will be a comprehensive tool for educators and homeschoolers who want to ensure CSS are met for their students. The guide will help pair individual standards with local providers who offer programs that meet CSS. Please reach out to us if you have any questions at all.
