Educational Groups
THE ULTIMATE FIELD TRIP
Grow as Educators. Return Inspired.
The Nature Place partners with educational groups to support lifelong learning, professional growth, and fresh perspectives for teachers, administrators, graduate and undergraduate students. Our unique programs create opportunities to exchange ideas and consider how learning connects across disciplines and beyond the classroom.
From Insight to Action
The Nature Place partners with educators and school administrators to create impactful, energizing programs that turn insight into action. Our multi-day experiences combine focused conference-room sessions & guided self-reflection with engaging outdoor challenges that emphasoze leadership, communication, and collaboration. Using tools such as the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), participants develop a shared language for leadership, explore different perspectives, and examine how their individual approaches influence a team. Throughout the program participants connect their experiences to practical actions they can carry into their classrooms, schools, and leadership teams.
Take the Lead
The Nature Place partners with MBA programs to bring classroom learning to life through multi-day experiences centered on teamwork, self-awareness, & leadership in action. Using Insights Discovery as a foundation, students reflect on their individual styles & preferences, explore how they work with others, & consider the leaders they aspire to become. Orienteering, high ropes, and a business simulation provide opportunities to put these insights into practice—challenging students to communicate effectively, navigate different perspectives, & make decisions together. Facilitators draw parallels to their coursework and future leadership roles in business. This program is valued by faculty and regarded by participants as a highlight of their educational journey.
The orienteering course was absolutely energizing for me. I now have a clear understanding of the differences and likenesses between me, and others. My patience has grown as I now take time to discover where others are on the 'map'. This was a very powerful training for me. Rich in benefits.
Keep Learning. Keep Growing.
The Nature Place serves as an outdoor lab for all demographics who are seeking opportunities to continue their learning. Whether a current student or leader in the field of education with a desire to enhance skills, we will partner to create meaningful experiences which encourage further personal and professional development.
