Fieldguides Inc. is a small nonprofit organization operating in the primary and secondary education sector, founded in 1983 and based in the United States. The organization runs Fieldguides Outdoor School, offering custom science camp and “gold rush” programs for schools and youth groups through an experiential, standards-based curriculum delivered in a family-style camping setting. Its approach emphasizes immersion in natural environments by having participants sleep in tents and share meals together, aiming to provide a safe, engaging outdoor learning experience that aligns with classroom studies. The field guides maintain a low group size with an average field guide to student ratio around 1:10, fostering cooperation among students, chaperones, and staff while performing activities and chores together in various weather conditions.
