Data analysis was carried out using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) on Windows version 22. The findings of the study showed that the integrated outdoor education life skill program had an effect with a significance value of .000 <0.05, the non-integrated outdoor education program had an effect with a significance value of .026 <0.05 and daily activities had no effect with a significance value of .108> 0.05. simultaneously between the three groups there was a significant difference.
