The Program Coordinator will make dorm assignments during the week before your arrival. We will honor preferences whenever possible.

Dorm Preferences:

Program Selection

The Schoolcamp program at the Outdoor Education Center is designed to complement your learning objectives and is aligned with Ohio Academic Content Standards (OACS). Our staff will honor your requests of lessons and concepts you would like covered (see pages 11-16 OACS), and blend your requests with traditional favorites that create a unique outdoor education experience. Our standard program will include a hike to the Yellow Spring, cooperative activities, a visit the Raptor Center to learn about birds of prey, and an opportunity for students to handle a snake or turtle. Before each meal, the members of one trail group will become meteorologists as they visit the Weather Station and prepare a weather report that is presented after the meal. Participants in the four-day program will also visit the Pine Forest.

Please list the specific lessons (see pages 11-16 OACS) that you would like your students to experience. Feel free to indicate any specific themes, concepts, or activities that you would like our staff to focus upon. Please contact our Program Coordinator (call 1-800-538-4893 or email oecprograminfo@glenhelen.org) if you would like assistance in making selections.

For the 4-day program you may choose FIVE lessons. For the 2.5-day program you may choose THREE lessons.*

Are there any activities that you would especially like included in your week?

Evening Programs

On the first night of your stay, the Naturalists will share a program of songs, stories, skits, and games that are entertaining, with an educational twist. On the final night, students will be joined by nocturnal guests from the Raptor Center to learn about survival at night before heading out to experience the darkness for themselves on the Night Hike.

Are there any evening program activities that you would especially like included in your week?

During the four-day experience, teachers and chaperones are responsible for the evening program on the second night.

What are your plans for your evening program?

Snacks

The Outdoor Education Center will provide a snack each afternoon. Your school may choose to provide an evening snack. If you choose to provide an evening snack, please help us reinforce our emphasis on environmental awareness by using our reusable cups and plates and by choosing healthy snacks with as little packaging as possible.

Do you intend to provide an evening snack each night?*
yes no
