Every Grade 6 MCPS student has the opportunity to participate in outdoor and environmental learning through authentic, engaging, and interdisciplinary experiences at the Residential Outdoor and Environmental Education Program. The Grade 6 MCPS Outdoor Environmental Education Program, known as “Outdoor Ed,” provides students with a three-day meaningful watershed educational experience, focused on relevant, engaging, and interdisciplinary lessons. Using the natural world as both a classroom and laboratory, literacy and mathematical skills are integrated into the environmental education experiences. The course of study does the following:
Provides students with field experiences where scientific practices are used to investigate the environment, and where components of the MCPS Grade 6 curriculum are learned in a real-world setting. Students are engaged in environmental science lessons focused on the local watershed that include water-quality analysis of the local stream, use of a simulation to study population dynamics, and investigation of the impact of humans on the environment.
Engages students in learning experiences that foster inquiry, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving in an atmosphere that employs various learning modalities and allows for informal and formative assessment.
Builds positive interpersonal relationships as students learn and practice relationship-building skills with their peers and teachers.
Encourages students to be active stewards of the environment in their daily lives.
At the Grade 6 Outdoor and Environmental Education Program, students stay in dormitory-style housing. Neelsville students attend Outdoor Education at Lathrop E. Smith Outdoor Educational Center. There is a fee charged for this program, set by the Board of Education, but funds exist for any student who may have difficulty meeting the financial requirements of the program. All students are strongly encouraged to attend the residential outdoor and environmental education experience.
