"The self-guided trail at the Outdoor Classroom property is open for exploration year-round (when classes are not in session). We only ask that you respect the nature preserve and not disturb the wildlife and plants. Please have your dog on a leash while you walk, and pick up poop. The trail and boardwalk platforms are wheelchair accessible."

Let nature be one of your teachers this season! While we miss you at the Outdoor Classroom, you can learn all about your environment while you’re at home, exploring your own yard or neighborhood. Learn how to do the activity or print our worksheets here, and then head outside to explore! If our worksheet or lesson doesn’t reflect the exact environment in your yard or neighborhood, feel free to re-create the worksheets or activities so they are better suited to what you or your student is experiencing at home.
Some of these activities will take 10 minutes, and others (like nature journaling) can even be repeated to span over several weeks or months. Use these activities as inspiration for expanded and continued learning and observing outside. The goal is for you to spend time outside making memories and learning to love a particular outdoor place. Let us know if you have questions or suggestions along the way. Happy learning!
The Outdoor Classroom Rewards Program
Whidbey Watershed Stewards encourages families to make outdoor learning part of your weekly, if not daily, routine. To help motivate students in grades K-5 to get outside to learn, we are offering the following Outdoor Classroom Rewards Program:
When your student completes three of the following outdoor activities, we will mail your student a special Outdoor Classroom Ranger Certificate.
When your student completes five of the following outdoor activities, we will mail your student a small Outdoor Classroom prize (while supplies last.)
These rewards are available to students in grades K-8. To request a reward, please send us an email noting which activities were completed (each nature journal entry can be counted separately!) and include your mailing address (and send pictures, if possible!), so that we can mail your student’s reward. Share photos or stories with us on social media at our Facebook page or on Instagram.
