We want KHOC to support learning so that it is not just “one more thing to do” in the classroom. Before the pilot, EBRPD worked to ensure that KHOC supported 3rd grade Common Core curriculum standards as much as possible by inviting a group of local educators to contribute to content. In school year 2012-2013, EBRPD piloted the Kids Healthy Outdoors Challenge (KHOC) with an aim of introducing children to local parks through classroom-based activities. The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) spans Alameda and Contra Costa counties with 73 beautiful local parks including over 1,250 miles of trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding and nature study.
