Algonquin College See Earth Program |
See-Earth is a hands-on, adventure-filled exploration of the local environment. See-Earth combines the technology, facilities, and expertise of Algonquin College with the skills and knowledge of teachers from Ottawa’s Public and Catholic School Boards. Participants will discover and uncover the natural beauty and environmental characteristics of the Ottawa Valley. The See-Earth program also promotes eco-leadership in schools by supporting the development of a school-based project.
Participating students will bring enthusiasm and commitment to the program. Active participation in the summer program will set the stage for the development and implementation of a sustainable environmental project for the fall of 2009.
The See-Earth program has activities based at Algonquin College (Ottawa) and Wilderness Tours (Beachburg). The first part of the five-day workshop will take place at Algonquin College. The second half of the week includes a two-night stay at Wilderness Tours www.wildernesstours.com. Participants will stay in cedar cabins at Wildersness Tours. All activities, meals, snacks and accommodations are provided by the See-Earth Program.
