Nature is Medicine in Alaska

Come explore Nature is Medicine in Alaska with Scott Ramsey. Scott leads the Alaska Outdoor Science School which brings kids into the wild and allows people to experience nature in real life.

Located at the end of North America’s longest glacial fjord lies Haines, the Alaska Outdoor Science School (AOSS) enables tangible experiences for children around the world. Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, majestic mountains, dynamic glaciers, and wild rivers, Alaska creates the ideal environment to experience one of the last “wild” worlds.

AOSS takes a different approach to education. In the traditional classroom setting, students do their best to retain bits of data for a test or paper that they have been given from a textbook and lectures. However, research indicates that this type of learning is generally superficial and less meaningful. Instead, AOSS has lasting learning from experience for students. The AOSS approach combines lectures with experiential opportunities to ground learning and help root understanding. Using nature as a living textbook makes learning more meaningful.
