Guiding Strategies for Outdoor Child Exploration

School Walk Training Videos

These videos are short introductions of what to expect on your specific walk, where to go and what each activity entails. 

It is highly recommended that volunteers attend the pre-walk on-site training which occurs on or very close to the day of the walk.  This interactive training will take volunteers along the walk route, explain the overall approach for the particular walk, point out any exciting discoveries along the way and demonstrate any equipment used during the walk.

Please note:  These training videos may not cover all material in the walk.  Read the walk guide for an understanding of the entire content.
