Summary
Hartland Christian Camp and American Outdoor Schools have partnered to provide high-quality, standards-based outdoor science programs.
Hartland is the perfect place to explore the great outdoors. Located in the beautiful Sequoia National Monument, Hartland contains a vast array of diverse botanical and geological characteristics where students love to explore, learn, and grow.
Natural science and environmental education topics are taught from a stewardship perspective. Students are provided with a working manual, which is their tool for learning, to apply the concepts that they have been taught by collecting specimens, conducting experiments and recording observations. The curriculum is designed for grades five through eight, utilizing observation, classification, investigation and analytical skills, as seen in the overview below.
Curriculum is designed to reinforce science concepts learned at school through experiential education, since studying the natural environment cannot always occur within the classroom setting. Students can increase their knowledge of the outdoor world through direct observation and exploration. The Explorers curriculum concentrates on exploring nature in order to understand and appreciate the concept of interdependence within the ecosystem.
