About

Outdoor Environmental Education is focused on enriching the learning experience for all 6th graders and giving them more opportunities for growth and discovery.

Overview

Sixth graders at each middle school in MCPS participate in a three-day, two-night residential outdoor environmental education program. While in residence, students study various aspects of the local environment as they participate in outdoor investigations that are directly connected to the grade six curriculum and the MSDE environmental education standards. Students are accompanied by their teachers, who, in collaboration with an OEE staff member, provide instruction and supervision during their stay.
