2012 Educational Honorarium Program

Recognizing schools, districts and teachers who support life-changing outdoor education

New for 2011-2012 , the not for profit Earth Explore Foundation is sponsoring a unique educational honorarium program.  The program is designed to recognize the contributions of schools and teachers who provide their students opportunities for science and environmentally-based outdoor education.  The honorarium program furthers the mission of the not for profit Earth Explore Foundation; to facilitate enriching science, environmental and culturally-based educational experiences in the outdoor classroom.

Details of the Program

Schools or districts whose teachers participate in the Earth Explore Adventure program with at least 24 student participants in a program year are eligible to receive a $1200 honorarium from the Earth Explore Foundation for use in educational enrichment activities on their campus, or in the district.  In the past honorarium funds have been used to provide materials and supplies for science faculty, for school enrichment activities related to outdoor education, to assist deserving students, or for instructional materials, books and media.  This educational honorarium is provided in addition to fully funded travel for accompanying teacher chaperones.
