Field Studies

Students and teachers work together to solve problems, observe plants and animals, and describe their experiences. Students are encouraged to use their oral language skills to describe what they are observing and their written expression to keep journals of their experiences. Traditional camp activities such as hiking, rowing, campfires, camp meals, and visiting with each other are also included to allow the students to develop a different relationship with the teachers.

French International partners with Straub Outdoors to bring field studies to students each June.
