The MCPS sixth grade outdoor education program is an exciting three day, two night learning experience beyond the classroom walls. An interdisciplinary approach is used to achieve these objectives. Prior to the outdoor education trip, students will acquire skills and concepts in the classroom that will be refined and expanded during outdoor education through experiential activities. These concepts will be applied throughout the sixth grade curriculum enforcing the importance of life long skills.
Outdoor education is a memorable experience for all students.
