A Folk Dance, a Mingle, or a Campfire are examples of social experiences. A NIght Hike, with a focus on astronomy and vision, may be taken by the field group. Not all of these activities are done consistently at every site. Working with the Nature's Classroom Program Coordinator, classroom teachers can select those activities which best suit the goals they have for their students. What the students learn in relation to community awareness and group cohesiveness in field groups and classes is applied in other activities.
Mealtimes provide a chance to interact and to share experiences with others.
The diversity within field groups, classes, and other activities facilitates conversation among the students and adults allowing them to share their excitement. The Nature's Classroom teaching staff is composed of individuals with a minimun of a bachelor's degree. We maintain a teacher to student ratio of one to twelve or less. There is a nurse, EMT, or a medical person on site or on call at all times. The children are provided with 24-hour adult supervision.
