If they’re Sandy Elem entary Sixth graders the answer is easy; the Outdoor Education program brings the two together at Camp A rrah Wanna in Wemme. The program, under the auspices of the Sandy School district, is now in its third year of getting grade school kids and the outdoors a little closer. Interm ediate Principal Kevin Stewart, liaison man and coordinator for Outdoor Ed. describes the program as a “ classroom extension,” a place to learn new things and use more traditional classroom studies Students are exposed to four main topics; soil, w ater, and plant and anim al life. They are treated both as individual units and as parts of a greater “ outdoor com m unity." The youngsters are able to apply what they've learned in mathematics and English classes to take tem peratures, and measurements, w rite reports and hold discussions on these outdoor subjects. In addition they are given instruction in subjects like survival training, where they learn how to build a fire, make a lean-to, find edible plants and how to act If stranded in the woods. Although the program focus is on education, recreation ia not forgotten and the kids enjoy volleyball, archery, hand crafts and nature hikes.
