Education for a living world.
The place where children grow their confidence, curiosity, and connection to the world around them.
A non-profit service organization providing outdoor immersion and mentorship programs.
Why Outdoor School?
At Guelph Outdoor School, learning comes alive.
GOS provides accessible, nature-based education that fosters curiosity, resilience, and real connection. To the land, to community, and to self.
Our programs are a vital complement to the conventional classroom recognized for supporting positive learning, growth, and well-being.
Here, young people learn by doing: by tracking along riverbanks, tending fires, building shelters, solving real problems, and playing together in all weather. They learn by listening, observing, using field guides, singing, sharing stories, taking risks, and by being part of something bigger than themselves.
Because when children learn through direct relationship with the living world, they grow curious, confident, and connected.
