Our Invitation: Explore Local Waters with your
Students. . .
Eco-Voyageur
When it comes to water, we’re all in the
same boat!
A
grant-funded water-education program, only $2 per student through 2007.
Program:
In 2007, Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center is offering an outreach
education program on waters in your own community. You and your students can explore a
lake or river near your school in Prairie Woods’ 34-foot voyageur canoe and
learn about water through hands-on experiences. The Eco-Voyageur program is
open to individual classes (15-30 students) or entire grade levels.
Learning:
During the Eco-Voyage, students will discover that “we’re all in the same
boat” when it comes to water. Working together in groups of up to 16, they
will paddle the voyageur canoe on your community's waterways. At learning stations,
students will study water with Prairie Woods educators & local resource
professionals. Eco-Voyageur can be a half-day
or full-day experience.
Teacher Involvement:
Training will be provided for teachers (optional). Select students in grades 10-11 from
your school can be trained as assistant facilitators. Thanks to grant
support, this outreach program is available within 75 miles of Prairie
Woods at a cost of only $2 per student. And we bring the program right to
you!
