GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (GRPS) – For fourth-grade scholars at CA Frost Environmental Science Academy, the trip to Camp Henry is a cherished tradition - an opportunity to bring classroom learning to life in the natural world.
“It’s really important for kids to get out of their town and investigate kind of a new territory, a new environment,” explained Amy Paul, the E Lab Teacher at CA Frost. “When they’re outside, they’re creating their own observations.”
Over the two-day experience, scholars participated in archery, horseback riding, the giant swing, and a variety of other outdoor activities designed to build teamwork and curiosity.
“I think it gives your mind like a little reset, a little fun time to get your wiggles out and just a time to relax and be at camp,” said Lucy, a CA Frost scholar.
“You’re always learning new things, even if it’s outside playing,” added Fiona.
If you are interested in supporting experiences like these for GRPS scholars, you can donate to the GRPS Foundation at grpsf.org.
