At Into the Woods Alaska, our guides apply experiential learning and outdoor safety skills, as much as possible, to support the learning of academic subjects.

For example, in math and science we will bring in map reading, the making of compasses, and measuring natural phenomena like creek levels, trees, and doing geometry measurements in the mountains.

In literature and writing, we will read while in nature but also assign children to read outside of the program so we can discuss the book while wandering through our natural spaces and learning outdoor safety skills. Kids – everyone- learns best while moving and using their hands. We are excited to bring Into the Woods Alaska into this next phase of development and offer more quality outdoor studies programming to your family.
