Spring Environmental Camps

Author: Rex McBride

Planning Unit: Boone County CES

Major Program: Youth Forestry and Natural Resource Education

Plan of Work: Environmental education

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Spring 2018 Environmental Camps brought over 1,300 youth to the Boone County Environmental and Nature Center to enrich their science lessons from the classroom with hands on activities and classes aligned to NGSS and KY Core Academic Standards. Teachers provided feedback stating that the day trip is one of the best experiences in the environment they have found, and that many of our youth living in more urbanizing areas do not haeve these important connections to the outdoors. This season was the first for one of our public school systems, Walton-Verona, as well as the first for one of our home school groups. The addition of W-V has all 15 county public school in attendance.
