Outdoor learning is beneficial for everyone. Not just children, but also adults. According to the Institute for Outdoor Learning (n.d.), outdoor learning means the “discovery, experimentation, learning about and connecting to the natural world, and engaging in environmental and adventure activities” (Institute for Outdoor Learning, 2020). But it does not stop here. Additionally, outdoor learning or education is not only taking indoor activities outside. It can also be presented in the form of “personal adventures, outdoor recreation, informal education; non-formal settings, such as in clubs, Scouts and Guides; and formal settings, such as those found in schools, colleges and universities” (Institute for Outdoor Learning, 2020). Some benefits of outdoor learning are shown in figure 1.
