Canoeing Canoeing is offered as an exploration of a non-competitive recreational activity. Problem solving, working together, communication as well as learning a recreational skill is the main objective of the canoeing class. Basic water safety is taught before students go onto the lake. Students are highly supervised and required to wear safety equipment. Instructors will explain the parts of the canoe and paddles, demonstrate strokes, and give examples of movement techniques.
Emphasis is given to the importance of safety around a body of water.
This class brings out creative skills, imagination and allows students to work together. Small groups of students will create their own special creature with natural and left over materials. By making decisions of how and where the creature will live, students are encouraged to communicate and make decisions that will allow their creature to survive in the real world. This class uses observational and hands-on activities to explore the natural world of insects. We look at what habitats provide for insects and how insects have adapted to survive.
