FLR Outdoor Education & Science Experience

Outdoor Classroom

The OESE outdoor classroom has a diverse nature trail system uniquely designed for science exploration and earth science discoveries. While on the trail students participate in hands on lessons that reinforce traditional classroom learning.

The OESE Training Center serves as a dining facility and indoor classroom. It houses a 26 foot indoor rock wall ideal for an evening climbing program. The OESE Training Center is also equipped with a large projection screen and stage for presentations and guest speakers.

A favorite among students is the astronomy lesson at the new state of the art observatory. Students are introduced to astronomical concepts while exploring the evening sky for planets and constellations.

The outdoor challenge course is the ideal venue for leadership training and team building activities. Low challenge course elements focus on developing communication skills, trust, tolerance, and cooperation among group members. High challenge course elements are designed to promote self awareness, confidence, and self esteem. High challenge course elements include a zip-line, skywalk, centipede, line traverse, and caving ladder.

Great for evening programs, the outdoor amphitheater with campfire ring provides a peaceful place to connect with nature and reflect on the days activities. The stage is also ideal for closing activities, storytelling, and skits and songs.
