Outdoor Ed Mission

Calvin Crest Outdoor School partners with public, private, charter, and homeschools to bring students into contact with science, history, and the wonder of the great outdoors.  Through the immersion in nature and hands-on learning, students have the opportunity to learn about subjects such as astronomy, ecology, and geology, all while developing important social and life skills.  This powerful partnership creates a legacy of empowered, resilient, and curious learners who will carry their passion for the outdoors and science with them throughout their lives.
