OUTDOOR EDUCATION.
SMITH, JULIAN W.; AND OTHERS
AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IS USED TO RELATE A VARIETY OF CURRICULAR AREAS TO OUTDOOR EDUCATION. THE ROLE OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONS IN PROMOTING EDUCATIONAL AND RECREATIONAL USES OF PUBLIC LANDS AND FACILITIES IS DISCUSSED. SUGGESTIONS ARE OFFERED FOR THE TRAINING OF PERSONNEL TO LEAD THE OUTDOOR EDUCATION PROGRAMS OF OUR SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. NUMEROUS PROGRAMS NOW IN OPERATION THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES ARE CITED AS MODELS IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF EFFECTIVE OUTDOOR EDUCATION PRACTICE. PROFITABLE OUTDOOR LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND SKILLS ARE ENUMERATED, AS WELL AS A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF OUTDOOR SITES SUITABLE FOR CLASS INVESTIGATION.
