Now I see the secret of
making the best persons; it is to grow in the open air and to
eat and sleep with the earth.

Camp Pendalouan provides
a wonderful outdoor educational experience for children, youth,
and adults. Our class traveled to the Montague, Michigan camp
on February 13 and 14. The following was the core of what we
tried to accomplish with 22 fifth grade students at Pendalouan: |
- to have students better understand
and respect the outdoor environment and their relationship with
it
- to provide students with an
opportunity to learn, share, and succeed in a hands-on, non-graded
environment
- to encourage community living
skills and cooperation among students
|
- to strengthen the relationship
between teachers and students
- to give students a sense of
independence and self-identity
- to foster a sense of wonder
and inquiry in each student
- to introduce students to healthy
outdoor pursuits, and encourage lifelong participation in outdoor
activities.

Camp Pendalouan is a four season camp nestled in
a secluded bay of Big Blue Lake. The 210-acres is adjacent to
the Manistee National Forest and the White River. Katie found
the toboggan run to be an exhilarating activity during Snow Camp. |
