I know how much the Outdoor Hour Challenge year plan is anticipated by the families that follow the series topics each week! I’m happy to announce that I have it all organized and ready to go for you a little bit earlier than usual.

Outdoor Hour Challenge September 2020 – August 2021 for Members
Get the Year Plan in a PDF: Subscribe to the Ultimate Naturalist Library, Journey, or Discovery level membership: Your membership will give you access to a detailed schedule for the entire year. You will have a printable plan that shows dates and specific topics that will be considered every Friday. This makes your planning super easy!
As there were last year, I’ve created monthly planning pages with lots of additional nature study ideas that you can use to enrich your nature study. These are similar to the planning pages I created for the newsletters in the past. If you’re a member at any level, you’ll receive all 12 months of planning pages in one pdf to download and print!
View a sample planning page above. These pages will be added to the Ultimate and Journey level memberships by the end of July 2020. Print the sample: September 2020 Handbook of Nature Study planner page.

These materials look great!! Especially now with COVID and the need to be outside for safety in learning. What grade level(s) will the yearly plans be suitable for? I teach in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada.
thanks,

The plans are appropriate for all ages. They were written for homeschooling families who have a variety of ages and needs. Glad you found the Outdoor Hour Challenge!
