Participation
The Ebersole Experience is more than an ordinary field trip or a night or two at camp. It is a complete immersion in all aspects of curriculum – the difference between simply talking about it and truly living it – with the potential to be one of the most significant events in a child’s 13-year educational journey.
- Children learn about science and the environment in an applied way
- Children discover new things about themselves
- Classmates see each other in a different light
- Teachers and students "connect"
- Students engage with the outdoors and broaden their horizons
- Parents participate in education with teachers and kids
- Widely diverse opportunities for nature observation and study
- Students learn, and educators teach, in novel environments
