Have you ever seen a rocket launch while hiking on Santa Cruz Island, one of the most beautiful National Parks in the world? What’s the difference between a rocket launch and teaching a student on a outdoor education trip? Nothing. When you are outside of the classroom you don’t teach with a whiteboard or fancy powerpoint presentation. You teach by example. They notice when you get up. What mood you’re in when things get tough like being hungry after a long hike. How you handle de escalating a situation in stride while two students are horse playing around. How you greet your fellow campers. How you greet campers that are strangers. How you share your snacks. How to use a map. How to pay respect to those who lived on this land before use. How to appreciate the stars. How to celebrate the joy of a swimming dolphin. This is all fuel to their rocket. It takes a long time to fill their tanks. This step can’t be rushed. One miscalculation and the rocket never leaves the platform. When they graduate that’s when their engines ignite and they begin to take flight into the beautiful sunset of your life. Hopefully you fueled them enough to push through the earth's atmosphere. Once you hear the sonic boom of their success you realize they made it. #Dunnschool #Outdooreducation #PhilEukel #MissyEscalante #EricEscalante #DeborahWilson #SahidConteh #GinaPlastino #SarahMurphyCook

🎥 New video! We leave California and do a marathon 1,200-mile drive to Colorado. We need to arrive in time for the Juniper Jamboree with Juniper Overland. Along the way, we show you what it looks like to educate Caspian as a full-time overlanding family. "What about school?" is one of the questions we get the most, and hopefully this video will show you how it works. #hourlesslife #worldschooling #unschooling #overlanding
