Outdoor Education Specialist

• Nov 2018 - Present

Within the Toronto District School Board I have had the pleasure of working with different demographics of students in an outdoor education setting. I have been able to have students explore and learn their curriculum in a real life context. This included, having students step out of their own comfort zone and into new experiences such as hiking in the forest, cross country skiing, being out under the stars or learning how to canoe. In addition to this encouraging their own self discovery to push their own limits. Show less
