EDUCATORS’ EXPEDITIONS
Outward Bound Educators’ Expeditions develop experiential education skills that teachers and administrators can take back into their schools and classrooms. Scholarships are available to qualified educators from the state of Maryland and the greater Philadelphia region.
This summer we are holding a Wilderness Canoe Expedition
August 6-12, 2006. Space is limited. Application deadline is
June 1, 2006. Pennsylvania educators receive ACT 48
CEU's for this program.
Wilderness Canoeing: Canoe and learn paddle strokes,
river reading, and rescue techniques while exploring brilliant
scenery and an array of wildlife. You will travel
through the historic upper Potomac River and see a historic
lock system for small wooden canal boats used to ship goods up
and down the river. Deer will emerge from the banks,
muskrats will scramble over logs, and bald eagles will soar
overhead. Steep cliffs and winding bends round out this
rich and historical section of river.
To apply:
- Register through our "contact
us"
- Submit a letter of intent outlining how this opportunity
will impact you and your students.
- $100 application fee (returnable if not selected)
