Created by a Teacher. Designed for Exploration.

Unplugged Outdoor Co.
Screen-Free Adventures for Teens

Small-group, educational day trips for teens (ages 12–15) in South Florida
Created by a local mom and certified educator, our nature-based adventures help kids unplug while building confidence, curiosity, and real-world knowledge through kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, art walks, and hands-on exploration.

Each trip blends academic enrichment (geography, environmental science, arts & life skills) with social-emotional growth — all in a safe, tech-free setting designed for today’s teens.

Why Unplugged?

In a world where teens are constantly “on,” Unplugged gives them permission to log off and tune in to their senses, their peers, and the natural world. Each trip is crafted for middle schoolers (primarily rising 7th–9th graders) and intentionally blends:

Hands-on indoor exploration

Outdoor immersion in South Florida’s coastal and wild spaces

Quiet moments for reflection, creativity, and connection

With small group sizes (max of 10 per trip), every participant is seen, supported, and encouraged to explore at their own pace

Meet Laura

Hi, I’m Laura 👋🏽

I’m a certified teacher, mom, and lifelong nature nerd with over 20 years of experience helping teens learn through real-world adventure. I’ve taught geography across Puerto Rico and South Florida, led student trips from National Parks to Switzerland, and hold a Bachelor’s in Geography from the University of Puerto Rico. I also completed all coursework for a Master’s in Environmental Education.

I founded Unplugged Outdoors Co. to create unforgettable, screen-light experiences where teens can explore, connect, and grow with curiosity, confidence, and just the right amount of wild.

You won’t find a more passionate or prepared guide. Let’s get your teen unplugged.
