Participants will journey across Rapa Nui on horseback, explore the ancient Rapa Nui port, study the Moai statues and altars, and visit a local museum.
Students meet once a week for lectures on volcanology as well as cultural aspects about the island.
All of the students have assignments they must accomplish before and after the trip, which includes a paper on a specific volcano and another paper on what they saw. They are also learning the Rapa Nui language that is slowly fading from the island, according to De Nault. The commemorative Yards for Kids poster, by Gary Kelley, is an eye-catching visual. Homeowners will learn practical and cost effective methods of managing and beautifying lawns and gardens without the use of conventional chemical pesticides.
