Early Beginnings in Outdoor Education: Historical Perspective.
Overview & Synopsis
Outdoor education has roots in the Nature Study Movement of the late 1800s; organized camping, which was started by groups such as the Young Men's and Women's Christian Association and the Boy and Girl Scouts; progressive education; and environmental education. Several doctoral dissertations in 1930 mark the beginning of outdoor education as a learning method. (Contains 18 references.) (TD)
