Introduction to Outdoor Education (ENVMT 8)
I went on a field trip to the Sunol Regional Wilderness today for my Introduction to Outdoor Education class. The course offered by Merritt College in Oakland teaches students about different methods of interpretation and instruction for future educators, rangers and naturalists or anyone simply interested. This was the last outing, but it was an amazing class. We had field trips where we met different Bay Area naturalists and viewed their skill and craft in practice. Lectures about the principals of interpretation and good story telling. Work that led to practical self education into the field of outdoor education. Taught by Nancy Ceridwyn and Robin Freeman at the Self Reliant House at Merritt College, Introduction to Outdoor Education is an excellent way to survey the craft and begin the path into the field.
