Designed to provide learners with a sustained full-immersion, outdoor adventure environment, this 4-day camp will support and challenge Intermediate level speakers, helping them grow their proficiency and confidence in the language while enjoying the short and long-term benefits of outdoor education.
Getting into and staying in the "zone" with their language for four days in a row, while encountering and navigating all kinds of new vocabulary, physical and mental challenges, unique settings and life lived fully in the wild, leads to a kind of growth, development, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Campers will be provided with opportunities to step outside their comfort zone, take on responsibility and leadership roles, learn about and connect with the natural world around them, and of course, there will be plenty of silly campfire stories, sticky smores fingers, and quiet moments with the stars.
"School performance increases when children learn outdoors. Research has documented increased standardized test scores, enhanced attitude about school, improved in-school behavior, and overall enhanced student achievement when students learn in and about nature. In addition, outdoor education effectively employs a greater range of children’s intelligences. Many researchers contribute the increase in performance to increased relevance and hands-on experience of learning outdoors." Charles, C. (2010)
