Overview

Outdoor and Experiential Education course from Queen's University kicks off with a field camp that builds a strong foundation of community amongst each OEE cohort. OEE students take courses together as a cohort, including EDST 260 Understanding the Principles and Programs in Outdoor and Experiential Education and FOCI 260: Outdoor & Experiential Ed (full course descriptions). OEE students also build community through events, workshops, and field trips held throughout the program.

The OEE program is looking for students who can bring unique perspectives and a range of experiences to our community so that our students can learn from each other. We don’t expect our students to come ‘fully loaded’ with certifications and years of experience. We attempt to accept a variety of students to the OEE program.

The focus of readings and theories changes yearly to reflect the constantly evolving field. Field trips are based on student interest and have included trips to organic farms, heirloom seed sanctuaries, outdoor centres, conservation areas, water treatment plants, winter camping, and more.

Career Opportunities:

OEE alumni are engaged in a variety of careers ranging from full-time classroom teaching to work in other related fields like service, environment, and health. Many employers actively seek out their dynamic qualities.

OEE graduates have gone on to propose and implement various programs, such as some of the initial environmental integrated programs, nature-based preschools, and unique environmental initiatives within a school board. Other alum have gone on to:

Classroom teaching within experiential emphasis (public or private school setting)
Camp directors
Independent outdoor programs (e.g., Outward Bound, eco-tourism lodges)
Outdoor-focused businesses
Environmental advocacy and awareness to organizations and businesses
