News & Events
What an adventure!!
5th & 6th Grade 3-Day, 2-Night Field Trip
St. Christopher Camp & Education Center, February 5-7th
The emphasis of the program is on education, not recreation, although we strongly believe in making learning fun. For example, "Let's Sea" is our two-hour discovery walk on the beach studying barrier island formation, sand dune ecology, seashell identification, and salt marsh life (where students get in the mud). Another favorite is "Need A Friend," a two-hour class focusing on communication and teamwork (even with people you don't like!). The kids really get into "Pondering Life", the one-hour class where students learn about freshwater ecology, insect metamorphosis, tadpoles, and the nutrient rich detritus that enriches our sandy soil.
