Welcome to the new
NOEC!
The NOEC is a non-profit
organization that has been serving youth and youth-at-risk since
1980. The NOEC is currently working hard to update this
website. For current schedules and information please
check out our Utah Education site @
my.uen.org/201233
The NOEC
has restructured their program over the last few years and is
now focusing on the Youth of Park City, Kamas, and Coalville.
Working directly with all Summit County Schools, the NOEC
takes students from 3rd to 8th grade on weekly outdoor
activities. The mission of the NOEC is to teach participants to
better understand themselves, others, and all of Nature through a unique
outdoor educational
experience accessible to everyone.

The original founder, Tom Cammermeyer, is still
with the Center, and continues to guide participants
through his Norwegian philosophy of Friluftsliv (meaning
"Free Air Life"). This philosophy de-emphasizes
stress and competition, practicing the unselfish and simple
life in Nature. Helping participants learn that all
experiences in life are educational,
Friluftsliv
is often expressed as "Slowing down and
enjoying the journey."
The NOEC understands that each participant in their program has different abilities and needs. If you would
like to talk to someone about how we may better serve
your community or child, please contact us by phone or e-mail.
