History of the O/EE Program

• Started in 1971 to provide students an opportunity for experiential learning
• York Elementary School (Bristol, IN) was the first school to participate in the program
• In 1999, a six-session Nature Study Course for Homeschoolers was started. In 2013, we expanded the program to a Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning group.  In 2014, we added a 7th monthly session. 

The Outdoor / Environmental Education Program at Amigo Centre presently serves over 2,000 students annually from public and private schools in northern Indiana and southern Michigan.
