Our seventh graders are in Cape Cod with their teachers and coaches for a full week of interdisciplinary, experiential learning in a beautiful, natural setting. Highlights include a marine life harbor cruise featuring the capture and release of sea creatures; lab sessions with research specialists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; visits to the Audubon Wellfleet Wildlife Sanctuary; and participation in beach hikes, nature walks, and a bicycle ride along the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Throughout the trip, boys apply and further their observational drawing skills as they sketch natural scenes, seashells, and birds. They also enjoy outdoor sports, and traditional camp activities.
It is an opportunity for the boys to deepen learning that occurs in the classroom, to focus their attention on the importance of environmental respect and stewardship, and strengthen their bonds with fellow classmates.
