Under the direction of teachers, camp personnel, and specially selected high school counselors, our students complete a wide assortment of environmental and ecological activities. This class is taught in addition to the year-long language arts class. The purpose of the class it to more fully develop the writing skills of the students. An eighth grade composition course further develops writing skills with a focus on journalism. Those students who demonstrate a mastery of writing skills after the seventh grade course may opt to take an exploratory foreign language class in the eighth grade which includes Spanish, German, French, and Japanese.
Science teachers integrate database and spreadsheet activities into the regular curriculum.
