About the Learning Program

Koshkonong Trails provides students with an opportunity for outdoor learning experiences grounded in a sense of place; active collaboration with peers, teachers, and community members; and serving the Cambridge community and beyond. The mission of Koshkonong Trails is to create students who are lifelong learners and who have direction and passion for their future, to develop academic success for all students to meet the Wisconsin academic standards in the areas of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, humanities, and agriculture, to offer high quality, rigorous, authentic learning opportunities for students interested in and motivated by project-based, hands-on learning, and to provide a place-based, experiential education built around conservation, stewardship, and agriculture.
