Camp Huntington-Day 4

There are some things that cannot be replaicated in the classroom, and should be integrated into instruction as it is important to the experiential learning process, and that is ADVENTURE!! Yes, there is much of the classroom that is excitin, but adventure pushes the boundaries of what students think that learning is, into an experience that is more memorable and life changing. Think about it, in 10, 20, 30years, a student will not be able to remember what spelling word was wrong on a test, but they will remember going outside, and getting their hands dirty at a ropes course, or a scavenger hunt, or interschaolastic activity.

Experiences are things that we relate to and remember. The things that I remember about my educational experiences are seldom the experiences that were in the classroom, but those experiences that brought me outside, and gave me meaningful experiences that I keep with me, and think of often. This week, is one of those educational experiences.

While we cant have adventures every day, we can look to make education experiences memorable.
