Grade K-12
Walk Wild Adventures
Take me outside and learn by being Present and Curious in the Forest.
Introduction to Wildlife and Outdoor Skills
These adventures can involve K-12 students in land based curriculum.
The adventure will involve a walk on the land where students are asked to be “PRESENT” and “CURIOUS”(what do they see,hear and smell). We will intentionally look and listen for signs of wildlife on the land and take the opportunities to have a discussion on the characteristics of the animals we see and possibly have a dialogue on the when or why of population management. We also incorporate a bushcraft activity to create a hands-on takeaway souvenir from the student's nature adventure (e.g., Cattail cordage, Roycraft Pack).
The experience will also give students a glimpse into the possible careers that involve connections to nature, habitat, and wildlife management.
The Alberta Centre for Trapping & Bushcraft was so grateful to be able to raise a Tipi on Monday. Thank you to Westlock Community Foundation along with a Group of Grade 7 students from RF Staples. Also to Ian the Tipi Teacher and his mom for the excellent instruction and information.
