As students become safari journalists, they learn how ecosystems around the world function and the diverse animals which live in them. From a reporter point of view, they utilize their language arts skills while diving into the science behind habitats. No rock will be left un-turned as they traverse around the globe to give live daily reports on a variety of regions from the arctic to the forest.
The activities in this camp are designed to reinforce new vocabulary words involving ecosystems and the animal kingdom while encouraging students to become more globally involved. They will develop real-world skills and cultivate an interest in the natural and untamed areas of the planet!
