What
Is Outdoor Education?
Outdoor Education is
intentional and spontaneous learning that can
take place during a field trip or an overnight
camp retreat with one or more teaching areas.
|
Why
Outdoor Education?
Students senses become
more alert and their learning increases when they
are put into new situation or environments.
There are also lessons that you cannot teach in
the classroom.
|
Why
Overnight?
While there are benefits
to one day programs (including cost). Staying
overnight multiplies the number of hours you can
spend in teaching and other beneficial
activities. It also decreases the
significance of your travel time. There are
also some activities that can only be done at
night, dawn or dusk.
|
Why
More Than One Night?
Scheduling a longer stay
gives you greater flexibility in your schedule
and allows you and your staff the ability to
utilize more creative teaching strategies.
|
Why Camp CILCA?
Camp CILCA is not just a
piece of property owned by Lutherans. It is a
ministry, just like your school, that exist to
share the Gospel and make disciples. What
makes Lutheran schools and camps unique Christian
experiences not just bible studies and devotions
but rather integrated experiences pointing to God
as our Creator.
