The Value of Field Experiences

Camp Gilmont Outdoor School provides a setting where students ask the questions and together we find the answers through our experiences in nature. Exploring and using the five senses, scientific tools, field guides, and careful observation, students record findings in a scientific format, then draw conclusions about the world around them.
