Meeting weekly, Full Circle combines field trips to local parks with classroom and neighborhood activities that explore the connections and parallels between nature, human ecology and personal behavior. Using these relationships in nature as a model of healthy community interaction, students form groups that work together throughout the program, allowing them to apply these principles of interconnection on a social level. Integrating literacy and communication skills, as well as math and science concepts, Full Circle weaves an experience of civic awareness that incorporates the natural world, team-building and challenge activities, wilderness skills, arts and visual skills through the use of digital imaging technology. Our clients are both public and private schools. Our programs are conducted weekly, for a period of eight to twelve weeks.
Instructors also facilitate debriefing discussions at the conclusion of each session.
