    Outdoor Education

    The Outdoor Education Program, based at the Lathrop E. Smith Environmental Education Center serves students in grades K-12 throughout the county. Grade six student at each middle school participate in the three day/ two night residential outdoor education program. Students are accompanied by their teachers and other school staff who provide instruction and supervision during their stay. An outdoor education teacher, who has already provided planning assistance, will be on-site for orientation, program coordination, and to provide direct instruction to students. While in residence, students learn about various aspects of the environment as they participate in activities that cannot be carried out at the home school. These activities provide opportunities to put into practice the thinking processes, skills, and strategies developed in the classroom. By sharing this twenty-four hour day experience with fellow grade six students, teachers, and parent volunteers, each student gains a better understanding of others. There is a per student fee that covers expenses. Details outlining fees and permission slips will be distributed closer to the date of the trip.
