The Earthways In Winter program may offer cross country skiing and snow shoeing as part of the educational trails. Discovering Nature is designed for the 1 st - 3 rd grades. Discovering Nature's primary goal is to develop within each participant an increased sensitivity to the natural environment. As students discover on their own the beauty and uniqueness of the natural environment and make simple and straightforward investigation, they will understand more clearly how the natural world functions. Students have a hands on experience at the mini-farm and as they walk through our pine forest to look and listen for signs of wildlife.
Children have a natural infatuation with rocks.
They love to collect them and study how different each rock appears. They won't learn what their rock is made of, but they will get to explore and feed some of that curiosity. The students catch and then observe insects to see how they are all different and special. Every day at Camp Tecumseh ends with a campfire program filled with singing and skits about the environment.
