BACK TO SCHOOL—OUTDOOR ADVENTURE:  Imagine a PE 
class where you go fishing, or learn to hunt or camp…it’s 
not a dream. Details ahead during Passport to Texas Back 
to School Week.

This is Passport to Texas Back to School Week

The Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation partners with TPWD 
to bring Outdoor Adventures Education to middle and 
high school students. 

05— We promote the outdoor adventures education program 
across the United States, and primarily in Texas.

Scot McClure is Education Director for the organization. 

09—There’s not another curriculum like it in the entire United 
States. Although our program has expanded beyond Texas, we 
are primarily a Texas Parks and Wildlife education program.

The Outdoor Adventures course offers one or two 
semesters of daily lesson plans that may include Angler 
Education, Boater Education and Hunter Education. 
Students who complete these classes earn certification. 
There’s also Dutch oven cooking, orienteering and more. 
McClure says these classes count as physical education. 

28—Any student can take this class as a PE class if the school offers 
it. Every school in the state of Texas can offer Outdoor Adventures. 
It is 100% available to every single student in Texas. If their local 
school doesn’t have Outdoor Adventures, then they need to find the 
right decision-maker; maybe it’s the principal, maybe it’s the 
curriculum coordinator, or the school board. And say: We want 
Outdoor adventures in our school so our children can learn these 
skills and enjoy them [for a lifetime].
