Outdoor Classroom - Tulsa

08/18/2026

One summer can change a child. Twelve summers can change a community. For nearly twelve years Outdoor Classroom - Tulsa has helped thousands of young people discover confidence, curiosity, resilience, and a deeper connection with nature. The wonder never changed.

It starts with curiosity. One question. One discovery. One child realizing that science isn't just something found in a textbook…it's right beneath their feet.

This summer, hundreds of campers explored creeks, forests, insects, birds, weather, and wildlife through hands-on adventures designed to spark curiosity and confidence. We call it Fun & Sneaky Learning.

Thank you to every camper, family, educator, volunteer, and Naturalist Educator who made another unforgettable summer possible. We can't wait to share more highlights in the weeks ahead.
