Discovery Hike
   
On this adventure, students take to the trails around Camp Lincoln to explore the natural world around them. Observation games are played, different aspects of the environment are discussed, and the group identifies various ecosystems they find along the way. This is a great activity for groups to discuss some of the science lessons they have already discussed in school.
 
 
 
 
Various Environmental Lessons
   
Depending on the focus of the group and what is being covered in the class room, Camp Lincoln’s Facilitators can lead hikes to cover Nutrient Cycles, the process of Photosynthesis, discovery of why and how trees loose their leaves, investigate the vast Water Ecosystem or a simple lesson on the animals that live in the area and how they all live together while handling the impacts of humans.
