Ferndale Fifth Graders Get Outdoorsy at Three Day Camp on Lake Huron
(Ferndale Schools, June 7, 2023)
Ferndale, MI – 5th Graders enjoyed an overnight outdoor education experience, with 3 days at Camp Cavell on Lake Huron. Students were able to scale trees and repel down as well as discovering local wildlife (and a few domesticated friends) with hands-on and microscope assisted opportunities.
Throughout the trip, friendships were forged through cooperative challenges and collaborative free play, with plenty of time exploring and relaxing on the beaches of the ancestral lands of the Wyandotte nation. We are thankful to the past, present, and future stewards of these natural spaces for this experience.
A special shout out to K-5 Camp Coordinator, Adrianne Quinn, who has managed and coordinated all of the elementary camps over the past ten years. We truly appreciate her commitment to the outdoor education program that is a hallmark of the Ferndale elementary experience. We will miss her as she heads into camp “retirement” in the coming school year!
