Environmental education has been used to facilitate these formative experiences, especially within outdoor adventure-tourism programs committed to educating youth on conservation issues and developing a conservation ethic that empowers participants to engage in pro-environmental behaviors. My research investigates the impacts outdoor adventure programs have on youth participants. More specifically, I look at program expectations and highlights, ecological knowledge and perceptions on environmental issues, and how these outdoor adventure programs impact environmental ethics before and after their experience. The purpose of this research is to help inform outdoor programs with commitments to conservation, environmental education, and development of conservation ethics in youth. Show less
