The concept of outdoor learning is based on the benefits of learning through active, hands-on experiences in nature, which helps children explore and develop their natural talents, connect with the environment, build self-esteem, experience success, develop independence, resilience, enhance critical thinking and problem-solving.

Outdoor learning encourages exploration and deepens understandings of natural cycles, physical activities and environmental sustainability. This type of learning is also linked to improved academic performance.

Outdoor learning provides numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. It promotes physical activity, encourages exploration and creativity, facilitates relationship building with peers and adults, helps children learn to take risks and better understand consequences, as well as building an appreciation and respect for the natural world.
