What is Venture Outdoors Learning Lab?

The Venture Outdoors Learning Lab teaches youth about nature, leadership, and science through activities such as biking, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and geocaching. We provide all of the equipment, curriculum, and trained Outdoor Educators and it’s low to no-cost for participants.  Over 20 schools and community centers partner with Venture Outdoors to bring the Outdoor Learning Lab to their youth on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, year after year.
