ABSTRACT
Outdoor Education firstly emerged in the 19th century until the 20th century in the form of camping activities in schools, and it also has been developed in several universities. In Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, Outdoor Education has been included in the school curriculum. Outdoor Education (OE) has also been developed in Indonesia during the development of various learning sources. Having around 17,504 islands, Indonesia becomes an archipelagic country with an area of 1.9 million km2. Lying along the equator line, Indonesia has two seasons, namely rainy season and dry season. Indonesia also has many beautiful landscapes scattered in various regions that can be used as the media to implement OE activities such as forests, mountains, and rivers. With Indonesia's geographical conditions, OE is very suitable to be applied in the school curriculum. With the context of Positive Youth Development (PYD), there are many positive benefits for children involved in OE activities, namely life skills improvement, social interaction, and higher environmental concerns to protect the natural environment. This paper is ended with an OE program that integrates structured and deliberated life skills for the development of positive youth. Besides, the transfer process of life skills that occurs is discussed in depth.
