School Camping Program. Disadvantaged Pupil Program Fund, Fund Number 97-8: 1971-1972 Evaluation.
Halasa, Ofelia; Fleming, Margaret
The Disadvantaged Pupil Program Fund School Camping Program respresented local educational efforts for the sixth consecutive year to extend classroom learning experiences into the natural environment. The Project sponsored a five-day long resident school-oriented camping program which attempted to offer an integrated balance of typical learning experiences and the natural phenomena which exist in the real world. In addition, it provided unique experiences of learning how to live with one another, of developing attitudes and skills for problem-solving, developing understanding and tolerance of others, etc. The School Camping Program served a total of 3,010 fifth and sixth grade pupils from 53 Title I, 1965 Elementary Secondary Education Act schools during the 1971-72 school year. Ninety teachers were involved in the Project as they accompanied their respective homeroom classes to the program. Approximately 120 pupils and four teachers from three schools, representing varied geographical locations attended the Project weekly. The program of instruction and the curriculum at the Project were structured in such a manner that it would extend typical school-associated learnings. Activities were included to enhance language and reading, social studies, mathematics, and science skills. (Author/JM)
