Environmental Education
What does canoeing next to a beaver dam, feeling wildlife bones, and coring a red cedar have to do with our Catholic faith? Fifth and sixth grade students at Camp Hamilton’s Environmental Education program get to experience science through a Catholic lens using Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato si’, and supporting the Next Generation Science Standards.
This 3 day residential camping program calls students to apply the science lessons and environmental stewardship beyond Camp Hamilton to your schools and communities.
Environmental Education Program Goals: Students will…
Connect with their environment through scientific observation, investigations, and experiential immersion in this beautiful wilderness surrounding Lake Hannan.
Connect the Catholic faith to the natural world around them.
Develop appreciation for the mind-blowing and spirit-lifting complexity of wilderness.
Participate in cooperative learning groups and problem solving in a rigorous scientific setting.
