Tenting Together

Landmark 1 (Explore Together Weekly)

Students have been investigating and learning about camping. Today we challenged the students to work together to put up a tent for a camping excursion. Staff gave them the tent and the necessary pieces and the students got to work trying to figure out how the tent went together. There was lots of trial and error and lots of discussions back and forth as to how the tent should go together. Staff did not give any instructions on how the tent went together. It was a wonderful group effort and community-building activity. The students learned so much about working together, talking it through, problem-solving, and preserving. They were thrilled when the tent finally came together and they were very proud of their accomplishment.
