Although separated from her fifth grade class, Jaylyn Luber finds the joy in virtual Outdoor Ed with a traditional campfire and s’mores.
Outdoor Ed is a three-day overnight trip and one of many school highlights for Timber Trail Elementary (TTE) fifth graders. This year Stone Canyon Outdoor Education virtually brought outdoor adventure to students, including the traditional barn dance with links to the “Chicken Dance” and the “Cha-Cha” along with campfire stories and s’mores.
Although there was disappointment not sharing these events with fellow classmates, students enjoyed the activities and camp fun with their families.
On the first day of Outdoor Ed, Cole Kliewer set up his camp by staking his tent in the backyard for fun camp activities.
