Wilderness Classroom

After hearing about "The Last Child in the Woods" I became more aware of how few children today enjoy nature. I know several children who would prefer sitting in front of a tv all day, instead of playing outside for an afternoon. This website offers a way to connect children to nature through the classroom.
There is a group of people who choose to go on expeditions based on the ideas of children. They will offer options for the children to vote on, such as "Climb a mountain" vs. "Raft down the river." The students in a classroom can then cast their vote and the explorers will do whichever event wins.
This is a great opporunity for teachers to follow the routes of the explorers, teach the students about the environment, and even promote a voting system. Check it out!
