Sixth graders enjoyed the great outdoors at all hours and through all weather conditions – Rainy days did not stop students from hiking to the marsh and examining biodiversity. Dark nights did not stop hikes in search of barred and screech owls. The days are long and the work is intense, but the week is so memorable that no one seems to mind. The highlight of the week was the Friday morning Survival Game, when each student took an active role in an ecosystem to see what hard work it is for wildlife to survive. Middle School teacher, Mrs. Coffey, said, “Outdoor School is such a rich and memorable experience for sixth graders! Parents and teachers alike are pleased that the students at Carroll Lutheran School have the opportunity to experience the environmental education offered there.” |
Where can students bunk in cabins, eat family-style meals, forecast the weather, and compost their waste? Outdoor School! In September 2011 the CLS Sixth Graders attended the week-long outdoor education program at Carroll County’s Outdoor School, often called Camp Hashawha. They learned about healthy habitats and riparian buffers in addition to how to compost and save the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Through Environmental Investigation, students became aware of their world in a way not possible in the confines of school walls.
