Our 5th graders left yesterday for Camp Pine Cove on beautiful Lake Palestine. The campus sure seems quite without them here. But... while at camp we know they will be having the time of their lives. They will return Friday afternoon with lots of stories, memories, and learning experiencs
Here are just a few things our 5th graders are sure to take away from their camp experience:
- Outdoor Education brings the classroom into the out-of-doors. Students learn about the environment through active, hands-on investigation. The program involves the student's entire curriculum, from math to art to science.
- The Outdoor Education Center, in addition to reinforcing the student's curriculum, stresses the importance of living together in a community, respecting the values and differences of other individuals.
- Outdoor Education is a program that cannot be taught within classroom walls. It's more than learning, it's experiencing and living within the natural environment.
And here's a picture of the fabulous 5th grade team!!
