Abstract

How do we expand youths' curiosity and joy for nature in outdoor spaces? During the summer of 2022, I worked at Overland Summers as an outdoor leader guiding 5th and 6th graders through the outdoor spaces of New England. This leadership role allowed me to understand importance of teamwork and independence for young students, and critically analyze what work these types of programs are doing in retrospect to the concept of wilderness.
