Our Inception
Our Inception
Lake Murray Outdoor Academy was founded on the beliefs that children are healthier, happier, and have the potential to learn more when they spend more time outdoors. Playing and learning outdoors gives students opportunities to be inquisitive, problem solve, and move their bodies. Studies have shown that children who spend more time playing and more time outside have higher achievement levels and less depression and anxiety diagnoses.
