Come experience outdoor school at Ruch!

At Ruch Outdoor Community School, we hope to instill in all students a passion for connection and exploration of the natural world.  Focus points of our three-day outdoor education program include:
​

1) increasing student awareness and understanding of the environment;
2) grounding learning in observing, inquiry, and participation; and,
3) fostering stewardship through community service.
