The Whitney Brothers outdoorED Learning Pavilion is an outdoor classroom pavilion built to scale for young learners, giving schools, childcare centers, and families a shaded place to explore and learn together outside. We're proud to offer it across Canada & the US, fresh from winning a Platinum 2026 Spaces4Learning Product Award.

Inside, there's room for several children to work side by side, while one group sorts pinecones at a table and another sketches from the grass.

Key Features of the outdoorED Outdoor Learning Shelter

• Spacious Interior for Group Play - There's room for multiple children at once, so small groups can create and play together under one roof.
• Dual Overhanging Activity Tables - A table on each side is accessible from inside and outside and pairs with outdoorED Benches (sold separately), so educators can run two small-group projects at once.
• Vented Roof for Shade - Cooling shade and partial weather protection keep outdoor learning comfortable when the sun is high or the weather turns.
• Wide ADA-Accessible Openings - Generous openings at each end welcome children of all abilities and give teachers clear sightlines for easy supervision.
• UV-Stabilized, Recyclable HDPE - Weatherproof HDPE resists fading, stains, mold, mildew, moisture, and splintering, so your outdoor learning shelter looks great season after season.
• Rust-Resistant Stainless Steel Hardware - Hardware made for outdoor conditions keeps the structure sturdy and secure over time.
• Textured Maple Woodgrain & White Panels - 3/4-inch panels combine a warm woodgrain look with crisp white accents that sit beautifully in any nature classroom or play yard.
• Freestanding Activity Center - A self-contained, ready-to-assemble structure makes it simple to add a dedicated outdoor learning space to your yard or playground.
• Research-Informed Proportions - Evidence-based design makes the pavilion developmentally appropriate and intentionally sized for preschoolers.
• Made in the USA - Designed, sourced, and manufactured in the US, it gives schools and childcare programs long-term confidence in their investment.

How Outdoor Learning Supports Focus, Creativity & Early STEM Skills

Time outside is more than a break from the classroom. The research behind this pavilion's design links outdoor time with reduced mental fatigue and better concentration once children head back indoors. Open-ended play in natural settings gives kids space to imagine and problem-solve, and hands-on discovery builds early math, science, and inquiry skills. For neurodiverse and neurotypical children alike, a shaded, open space with wide entryways makes it easier for everyone to take part.
