Many of my students do not get to experience outdoors because their parents are busy working two jobs and they may not be allowed outdoors for safety reasons. Allowing the school to provide learning experiences outdoors benefits them academically and socially.
By donating to our trip, students will be able to experience learning outside of the classroom and make the connection from textbook/laptop to the world. They will apply what they have been learning in science to nature. They will get to see a different world in which they have not been exposed to. They will be involved in activities such as hiking in Yosemite Valley while learning about the geological processes that formed the Sierra Nevada mountain range and Yosemite Valley, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in High Sierra meadows while learning about the winter adaptations of the plants and animals that live there, completing team-building challenges and exploring lessons on leadership while hiking to the top of one of Yosemite Valley鈥檚 waterfalls, and hiking in a giant Sequoia forest while learning about the unique ecological interconnections that support these ancient and rare trees.
