The Get Outdoors and Learn Project

Between school and homework, kids aren’t getting as much time outdoors as they should. Add things like computers, television and gaming systems to the mix and things don’t look bright. The Outdoor Adventure team is very conscious of this, as many of us have school-age children. We’ve put together a project plan that we believe will encourage and motivate kids and teens to get outdoors, while at the same time helping them fulfil educational requirements.
As parents, some in the Outdoor Adventure Team are involved with a community of homeschooling families all around North America. As a community, these parents are often looking for new, creative ways to not only foster a great passion of ours: a love for the outdoors, but also provide fun, fulfilling projects for our learners.

Our project plan is to connect outdoors brands with capable, enthusiastic young people. The exchange is simple. The kids write reviews on products provided to them by interested companies. We carefully work with these young authors to edit and perfect the article. We then publish it on our web site. In some cases, the young person would also make a video review of the product, which would then be polished and then published on our youtube.com channel.

We believe that providing capable tweens and teens with opportunities to test and write reviews on outdoors products benefits all participants. These students will be motivated by being able to get gear to test and keep. Brands benefit by having their products tested and reviewed by their end-user demographic and helping kids Get Outdoors and Learn.

If you’d be interested in participating in this project or would simply like to have one of your gear reviewed by one of our adult reviewers, we’d love to work with you!

We’ve created a page to keep things up to date, including participating companies. Check it out here: Get Outdoors and Learn.
