At ARMS we encourage outdoor education, and hands on learning. Our classroom programs have been created with the BC Teachers Learning Outcomes in mind and each program is relevant to our ecosystem here in the Fraser Valley. All the knowledge learned during these programs can be applied every time a child goes outdoors to explore on their own in their own neighbourhoods. Any of our programs can be adapted to suit specific classroom learning activities.
