The Adventure Grade 11 Pdf

[Danel Potvin]

SouthwestFlorida offers an outdoor classroom with unique environmental regions. The 5th Grade Wild Florida Adventure program provides students and teachers an opportunity to take advantage of that classroom and to use the environment as a platform for learning.

Habitat, adaptations, hydroperiods, endangered species, natural and human disturbance, sustainability and conservation issues are topics of study weaved through the 5th-grade curriculum. Water and its presence or absence in our ecosystem is the main unifying theme of the program.

Students, led by Audubon naturalists and trained Partner Educators, travel through the Sanctuary on a raised boardwalk in search of all things wild. After an initial introduction, small learning groups venture through the pine upland forest, wet prairie, and finally into the bald cypress swamp with its lettuce lakes and wildlife. Students conduct research projects on birds, plants, reptiles, and mammals and are introduced to Corkscrew's innovative natural wastewater treatment facility, the Living Machine.

Participating teachers must attend on-site workshops to be eligible to receive Sponsor funding. At the training, teachers receive Educator manuals, materials for their students, discuss strategies to implement the unit, identify how they will prepare students for the field trip, review all field trip activities and are provided examples of how to continue the trip with post-trip activities in the classroom.

Our mission is to preserve Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and support the conservation and restoration of natural ecosystems throughout the Western Everglades. We use science driven land management and education to protect birds, other wildlife, and people.

Each trip is staffed by a trip leader and trained counselors. Participants begin the two-week program here at camp, where they do teambuilding activities, practice skills such as water rescues and outdoor cooking, and prepare gear and equipment. They depart for their trips mid-week, and return a week later. Their last days in the program are spent here at camp enjoying camp programs and activities and relaxing and unwinding from their long journey.

For many campers, high adventure is the culminating experience after spending many summers here at camp. For others, it is the chance to grow their knowledge of the outdoors while experiencing something new and building new friendships.

Campers spend a week backpacking more than 40 miles along the Laurel Highlands trail from Ligonier to Ohiopyle. Our Vagabond participants spend time learning backcountry navigation, outdoor cooking, campsite craft, and basic survival skills before they ever leave camp. The group eats each meal out in the backcountry and camps along the trail every night. While practicing their outdoor skills, campers build lifelong friendships along the trail and around the campfire. On the final day of the trip, campers enjoy a fully guided whitewater rafting experience at OhioPyle.

Campers spend a week paddling more than 90 miles of the Allegheny river through Allegheny National forest. Our Kinzua campers practice water safety, outdoor skills, and paddling technique prior to the start of the trip. The group eats each meal out in the backcountry and camps each night at primitive island campsites. Campers will have the opportunity to swim, visit riverside towns, and explore historical sites along the river. Campers practice their new skills while paddling along one of the most scenic rivers in the north east.

Strap into your seats and hang on for a wild musical ride as only Mr. Standridge could create! This astonishingly exciting work spins a musical tale of a Viking Expedition into the frigid North Atlantic seas, first depicting the high spirits of the sailors as they set out to sea. The slower middle portion of the work chillingly depicts a scene of navigating in dense, icy fog, and the work culminates in an aggressive way, using a wild aleatoric section to help depict the Vikings attack on a sea village. 12/8 time, supremely colorful and exciting percussion writing, and important melodic moments for all instruments further characterize this wild nautical musical adventure not to be missed by your advancing band!

Capitalizing on children's inherent curiosity about insects and other residents of the micro-world, the Insect Adventure is designed to teach about insects while enabling students to look at their environment with a holistic view. Important concepts such as habitat, interdependence and adaptation are reinforced throughout the program and students have the opportunity to employ several steps in the scientific method as they become junior entomologists.

Students, led by Audubon naturalists and trained 2nd-grade Partner Educators, walk a specially constructed trail through a pine upland area that includes learning stations spaced along the walk where they perform experiments designed to coincide with subjects studied in the classroom. Participants also travel a portion of the boardwalk where they apply classroom and activity station knowledge to the larger Corkscrew ecosystem.

The Rite of Passage Experience (ROPE) is a three phase community approach to prevention and positive youth development. R.O.P.E begins the transition from childhood to adulthood and addresses important adolescent issues by promoting self-esteem, teaching decision-making, problem-solving, team-building and understanding peer pressure.

It is integrated into the sixth grade Health curriculum of both Middle Schools and facilitated by Human Services staff. This program includes classroom and outdoor experiences that includes a "Final Challenge" day on our ropes course.

A parent orientation is offered during Open House at the beginning of each school year. Seventh and eighth grade students also participate in a variety of outdoor/adventure based activities that reinforce the R.O.P.E. program and its challenge by choice philosophy in preparation for the transition from middle to high school.

The SCORE after-school program entitled Student Challenge of Recreation Education, begins the second phase of R.O.P.E. for all middle school students. Its purpose is to connect the important environments of school, community and family and offer youth opportunities to meaningfully use their leisure time.

The third phase of ROPE encourages youth and young adults to give back to the community through voluntary service projects. High school and middle school youth are involved in a variety of service projects from cleaning up our town and state parks to high school aged mentors working with middle school youth.
