SOL
OUTDOOR LEARNING
Homeschool support and school programming
About Sol and its Founder
Sol is a science and outdoor learning program designed for home learners and schools. Our approach focuses on experiential, place-based education, guided by the seasons, nature, and the unique interests of each child or classroom. While science and outdoor education are at the heart of what we do, we embrace all subjects, tailoring learning experiences to meet the needs of every student.
​
We offer outdoor education programs for local schools and personalized support for homeschoolers in one-on-one or small learning pods. Our programs welcome children of all neurotypes. We're happy to collaborate with additional support workers (Behaviour Consultants, SLP, OT etc.) and can accept any funding sources available to families.

Sol was founded by Sharee Dubowits, a local mama of three wonderful girls and a passionate nature enthusiast. With a background in fish, wildlife and recreation, Sharee's path naturally evolved into education. She gained valuable experience as an educator at Squamish Nature Learners (SNL), where she found the perfect blend of her love for science and teaching. After her time at SNL, she worked as a Behaviour Support Worker in the community until the organization closed. Today, Sharee leads outdoor education programs in schools and provides dedicated support for home learners of all ages. She looks forward to continuing her work with families and schools, fostering a deep connection to nature and lifelong learning.
Our Programs
Small-group learning pods designed to foster both social connection and personalized learning, tailored to the unique needs and interests of the children involved. Families are welcome to form their own pods, or we can assist in creating a supportive group that aligns with your child's learning journey.
Individual homeschool support sessions, thoughtfully tailored to your child's unique needs and interests. We provide one-on-one support, whether as a long-term solution or as a bridge until a suitable learning pod becomes available.
Join us for our July and August adventure summer camps, where children explore forests, rivers, lakes, and oceansides through exciting activities. Each camp is filled with games, music, arts and crafts, and plenty of hands-on nature discovery!
Outdoor education programs for schools serve grades K-9, offering seasonal or year-long sessions. Each program is thoughtfully designed to complement current curriculum goals, blending hands-on nature experiences with classroom learning.
