Welcome to Earth Explore. We're glad you're here.
As parents, we're always thinking about our kids. We want them to learn, grow socially, experience the joy of independence and gain loads of confidence. And, along the way, have plenty of fun.
Earth Explore is about exploring our extraordinary world hands-on. It's about learning new things in a way that inspires. And using that knowledge and inspiration, to make a positive difference in the future. We call that the EE Experience. But, equally, Earth Explore about helping young people gain the skills they will need to navigate an increasingly complex world.
What kind of skills? Just check out what our parents say. We're proud that every year they tell us their sons and daughters make big gains in self confidence, independence and personal responsibility through the EE experience. And learning comes too, of course. Our Adventures are cross-disciplinary, combining science, environmental studies, history and culture to provide an enriching, one of a kind educational experience.
How do we make the learning stick?
We have fun...everywhere we go. On a given day our students might be spotting toucans and monkeys in Costa Rica's Monteverde Cloud Forest, watching whales feed in Alaska's Resurrection Bay, walking the cobblestone streets of Pompeii in Italy, kayaking through California kelp beds in Monterey, rafting the Snake River in Wyoming, or hiking down into Kilauea Iki crater on the Big Island of Hawaii. The common thread in all we do is curiosity...asking questions, trying new things, probing the unexpected, and gaining insights about the world and how it works. The experience goes deep, engages all of the senses, and can spark new interests and new directions.
Teachers like us too
Our adventures also offer outstanding opportunities for educators to expand their classrooms, and their teaching, into the world. Through Earth Explore teachers can travel to rare and beautiful locations, share in their own students' exciting adventures, and watch them grow in incredible ways. They always bring new techniques, energy and enthusiasm back with them in the fall. Hear from recent Earth Explore teachers.
The outdoor classroom is full of life-changing opportunities for learning. When you add in the element of travel, 
some amazing things can happen. The growth and confidence gains that parents and teachers see are among the benefits of participation in Earth Explore.
I invite you to take some time and look around this site. If you have questions, drop us an Email or phone call. Any of our staff would love to tell you more about why we're passionate about getting kids learning in the outdoor classroom.
Warm regards,
Karl Van Amburg, National Director
