The outdoor school program is a one to three day residential program that provides unforgettable experiential learning for students from the Kansas City area. Students are joined by their teachers and parents, who stay with them in their cabins and help lead activities. The outdoors is the classroom, and the forest, pond, and meadows are their biological laboratory, as they learn about basic subjects like language arts, ecology, math, geology, and history. Nature becomes their inspiration for writing essays and poems, offers a hands-on classroom to introduce and apply concepts from the classroom and awakens a curiosity and appreciation for the interrelationships of the inhabitants and their habitat supported by this beautiful, natural 150 acre facility. In 2023, Wildwood provided school field trips for 2,500 youth.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
