On a typical camping trip for example, we focus on cooperation, teamwork and social skills as we start our day with a hearty breakfast, enjoy the day and then settle in for an evening meal cooked by our students. The adult chaperone might be a dorm staff person, school counselor or a volunteer from across campus. The interaction that occurs between these adult role models and the students is invaluable which results in pleasant smiles during the school week as memories and pictures are shared. Prior to each activity there are informational as well as organizational planning meetings. We hang tents and sleeping bags to dry.
Students write an article about their experience.
