Bring the Classroom Outdoors!
Where adventure, education, and exploration come together!
There’s nothing quite like a camp experience to bring learning to life. Nature and adventure experiences at Camp make it the perfect place for learning to really stick! Students love Outdoor Education at Black Diamond Camp, because it’s hands-on, engaging, and fun! It’s also affordable and customizable to meet your group’s goals, including Next Gen Science Standards.
Experiential Learning
The start and end of the school year can be hard for students as they find their place in a new classroom or lose focus as summer approaches. Camp is a place where positive learning happens and creates a setting for authentic relationships to emerge.
The beauty of the Black Diamond grounds and the engaging staff provide a wholesome environment where students can experience adventure and grow in community. It's an ideal way to switch things up and get kids excited to learn!
