INGENUITY SUMMER EXPLORATION CAMP 2001

AUGUST 7 to 9, 2001

Description: Students will gather at their assigned middle school each day to meet Ingenuity teachers and classmates. The daily program will involve students in lots of fun-filled outdoor activities to encourage thoughtful consideration of the earth and its resources. Students should wear hats, sunscreen and old clothes because they are going to get dirty, climbing and walking along the water or maybe in the water!

A DAY AT THE SCIENCE CENTER

We will visit the observatory to make solar observations, participate in a planetarium program, and participate in other space and earth science activities.

A DAY ON THE WATER

We will board a sailing vessel with the Living Classrooms Foundation and trawl for marine life, conduct water quality tests, use weather-monitoring instruments, and learn how to navigate on the water.

A DAY AT OUTWARD BOUND

Students will have the opportunity to challenge themselves while developing teamwork skills on a ropes course that includes a rock climbing wall.

FYI

1. A schedule and permission slip will be given to students and parents by May.

2. Students will meet at their Ingenuity school each morning and travel by school bus to each location.

3. The beginning time will be between 8:00am and 8:30am and will conclude at about 3:30pm.
