Program & Activities

Great Basin Outdoor School programs immerse students in multi-day overnight ecology camps in spectacular natural settings on Nevada's shoreline of Lake Tahoe.  Activities meet state curriculum standards in many subjects, especially science.  Students hike, snowshoe, learn local ecology with hands-on activities, and do environmental projects to help keep Tahoe blue and reduce fire danger in the Tahoe Basin.  Most programs are for fifth and sixth grade classes, and high school and college students gain leadership training and experience.  Great Basin Outdoor School operates exclusively in Nevada and has served thousands of Nevada children as a 501(c)3 non-proft since 1998.
