Outdoor Education Philosophy:

Circle F Dude Ranch Camps Outdoor Education Program encourages people to maintain and build a connection with the unique ecosystem of Central Florida. Providing one of the greatest gifts to an individual, the opportunity to grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically in a natural setting.

The Circle F Dude Ranch School Program provides high-quality educational experiences for children from Private and public schools. Our program serves children through one - to five-day residential and day programs focusing on environmental experiences, teambuilding, high adventure, personal challenge, and outdoor skills development.

When you schedule a program, we work with you to customize activities and program options based on your goals and in accordance with the needs of your students and your school.

Whatever program options you choose, we will design an experience that is meaningful and memorable for your students. All of our classes have been designed with Florida State Teaching Standards in mind.

School groups will receive upon request an exact list of what standards relate to their curriculum.

Environmental Experiences

Environmental activities are designed to expose our school groups to the Central Florida Ecosystems in a fun and hands on fashion. Through exploration, games, and adventures tailored to the group, they will experience freshwater ecology , scrub forest, and sand hill ecosystems.
