ABOUT
Chewonki’s Outdoor Classroom
Chewonki’s Outdoor Classroom is an environmental education program that offers Overnight Trip and Wilderness Trip programs for school and scout groups. Our unique environmental education programs offer students and teachers the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature, ecology, teambuilding and challenge, while also having fun and learning. The Outdoor Classroom’s lessons in ecology and natural History are a dynamic blend of hands/minds-on activities through which students study coastal and terrestrial eco-systems. Utilizing a combination of classroom and field methods, small teams of students investigate ecological and biological concepts and reflect on their relationship to the natural world. We emphasize self-guided inquiry, careful observation, scientific measurement, and the use of journals for recording, writing, and drawing. Our teachers tailor each lesson to enhance the visiting school’s curriculum and to match the age and experience level of every group.
