Birchwood Camp 2019
5/11/2019
Spring Trips are a much anticipated tradition at PNA. From our youngest students to our world ready 8th graders, students of all ages take a culminating field trip at the end of each year ranging in distance and duration. While these trips are designed to tie into curricular topics students have been studying this year, the real benefit are the other gains that students make. Students are practicing independence and pushing personal boundaries and comfort zones. They are treated to valuable experiences and meet and interact with new and amazing people. Teamwork activities and community building are always a part of these trips and students strengthen the bonds with their classmates that they have been cultivating all year long. And of course, there is always a lot of fun thrown in! The mission of our school plays a huge part in the design and implementation of these trips, as it does in every day at PNA. Having the courage, vision and integrity to not only participate, but to really experience all that spring trips have to offer is the culmination of a great year as part of the PNA community. Here are some glimpses into what the first and second graders experienced on this year's overnight spring trip to Birchwood Camp. Lots of playground research, nature exploration, journal reflections, art activities, teambuilding...the list goes on and on! Comments are closed.
