St.
George School
Outdoor
Learning Center
This year the 6th graders and Alternative Education students at the St. George
School are working on building a Outdoor Learning Center behind the school.
The Outdoor Learning Center will run right by the St. George marsh. We the 6th
graders and Alternative Education students are re-constructing and re-building
the overgrown and unidentified trail. It will be gorgeous when we get it all
done this summer.
Tanglewood Education
To learn how to build the Outdoor Learning Center we went to Tanglewood Youth
Forestry Camp in Lincolnville, Maine. We all went to Tanglewood during peak
foliage season so all the colors were amazing. While we were at Tanglewood we
learned to use different tools like: soil augers compasses, and measuring
tape. We also learned how to tell the difference between hardwood and softwood
forests, we learned to map out forest as we were pacing it correctly, and we
measured and used compasses correctly. At the very end of Tanglewood we
mapped out all we had done those three days with our instructors Bob, Emily,
Will, and Sam. It was called a Land Management Plan. It showed us the whole
land and how we broke it up into sections and mapped it out. At the Tanglewood
Youth Forestry Camp we learned a whole lot. We are ready to build the magnificent
St. George Out door Learning Center.
Tanglewood
Recreation
We had loads of fun at Camp Tanglewood. For example we had a hilarious talent
show with some beautiful Erkil girls in it, we toasted marshmallows one
night, and we also went on a night walk. At first the night walk was scary,
but then I partnered up with somebody and it wasn't so bad anymore; it was really
fun. While we were on the night walk we played bat & moth and we saw a wild
porcupine.
We also had cabin groups. My group had seven girls and my sciance teacher, Mrs.
Maynard. Our cabin was the best. It was called the Nest.
