Our goal is to help participants increase their awareness and appreciation of the natural environment through a variety of hands-on and investigative activities. Small groups of twelve students are led by two teachers. Group leaders are qualified environmental educators. The leadership, experience, and knowledge of the staff creates a caring learning environment.
Participants visit a variety of field sites to explore the ecology of Mount Desert Island.
For the summer of 2001, we offer sessions beginning the week of July 2 and conclude on August 23. Sessions last for one week for first and second graders and two weeks for students in grades two through nine.
