In this episode, Dale Roth & Court Rustemeyer, two Outdoor Educators from Alberta (Canada), join the show to discuss their philosophy related to Outdoor Education and how they facilitate meaningful experiences for students in the outdoors. Topics of discussion include the role of reflective practice in facilitating meaningfulness, as well as 'features' of meaningful outdoor experiences; a connection with nature, belonging, and a sense of adventure.
