Bridging Education and the Great Outdoors


At Outdoor Education Services, we believe that the most impactful learning happens outside the classroom, where nature itself becomes the teacher. Our mission is to empower individuals, schools, and organizations by offering immersive outdoor programs that foster personal growth, teamwork, leadership, and environmental stewardship.

Founded by a team of educators and outdoor enthusiasts, we are driven by a passion for nature and a commitment to education. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality outdoor experiences that challenge, inspire, and transform participants of all ages. Whether it's developing wilderness medicine skills, mastering the art of navigation, or bonding through a custom team-building adventure, we help our participants not only learn new skills but also gain confidence, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Our Approach

OES has chosen the bison as its logo to represent its deep connection to nature and appreciation for the wisdom in the outdoors. The bison not only symbolizes our wild homeland but also serves as the ultimate survivor in nature. Interestingly, the bison is the only animal known to turn into a snowstorm. This is because it has the instinct to walk directly towards the storm to shorten the time it has to spend in it. Although this may cause some short-term discomfort, ultimately, it leads to a longer-term payoff.

Inspiring a Lifelong Love of the Outdoors

Our vision is simple: to inspire a lifelong love of the outdoors in every person we meet. Whether it's a young student discovering nature for the first time, a seasoned adventurer looking to sharpen their skills, or a corporate team we strive to create experiences that leave a lasting impact. At OES, we believe the outdoors should be accessible to everyone whether you are a novice or have tons of experience with high adventure. Our team will facilitate an amazing and safe time in the woods for you and your group!
