Program Objectives

• Provide migratory students the opportunity to experience education outdoors. Students are presented with opportunities that allow them to think, share, explore, question, and develop their own understanding of lessons facilitates by the instructors.
• Teach migratory students science concepts in a natural setting that foster an understanding of ecology, plant life, earth science, physical science, etc.
