On October 26-28th, the 7th and 8th graders of Desmond T. Doss Christian Academy attended camp at the Holiday Lake 4-H Educational Center along with a group of students from Tree of Life. This camp offers an abundance of opportunities for students to learn hands-on about Virginia’s many natural resources. Their mission statement is, “To improve the quality of life through educating youth and adults in a natural setting.”
During the 2-night, 3-day trip, our students took 11 different hands-on classes in the outdoors. These classes are called Natural Resource Education programs. These programs help students learn concepts and ideas, which although they can be taught in the classroom, this environment allows them to experience our natural resources while being part of them in the outdoors. All of the Natural Resource Education programs offered at the 4-H Educational Center are correlated with the Virginia’s Standards of Learning, and they focus on natural sciences, life sciences, life-skill development, and leadership development.
