Outdoor education was the topic for the final afternoon presentation to the Huron County Board of Education for this school year. Meeting with the board Monday in Clinton, the committee chaired by Vincent Elliott of South Huron District High School, built a strong case for their proposal to make out- door education an integral part of a student's education in this county. The severn-member committee asked the board to consider the possibility of establishing a centrally located "base camp" for conducting overnight or prolonged field trips for school Lunch Served Afterwards students in Huron. The suggestion was for the board to accept the offer by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests to utilize the Stone Farm FRI., APRIL 28 Admission $1.00 Hensall Arena 8:30 p.m. Entertainment* at the 1#1 DASHWOOD HOTEL 1111,!"il ONE OF THE FOREMOST ORGAN STYLISTS IN WESTERN ONTARIO APPEARING THIS FRIDAY ONLY Ken Hancherow North of the bridge EXETER Phone 235-0151 Peptet e‘,"„er adjacent to the Hullett Con- servation Area for this purpose — on a land use permit costing $1 annually. Although preliminary studies are still going on, the committee told the board the Stone Farm could provide facilities similar to those at Camp Sylvan in Mid- dlesex County. At Camp Sylvan where "rustic" conditions prevail, many Huron County students annually enjoy a camping experience with their classmates under the supervision of their teachers. Rates are rising for students on overnight campouts, however, and the committee intimated that money now spent in Middlesex by the Huron Board of Education would be put to better use in establishing a Huron camp. Outdoor education is a "learning experience which takes place in an outdoor set- ting". A sound outdoor education program provides meaningful experience and factual in- formation outside the classroom; gives opportunity for real life problem solving; develops skills for more productive use of leisure hours; builds strong bodies; makes students more aware of their environment; teaches sociability; strengthens relations with friends and the teaching staff; and creates an opportunity to learn about "vanishing aspects of life in the past" such as hand- milking, maple syrup making, historic sites etc. In the elementary schools, with all schools in the county having some kind of an outdoor education course, the program includes outdoor activities on the playground, in the fields and woodlots within walking distance of the school, in sites within Huron County and in some in- stances, at locations outside the county such as Camp Sylvan, Midland Indian Village and Fort Ste. Marie, the Detroit Zoo and Storybook Gardens in London. Elementary students — kin- dergarten to Grade 8 — study everything from dairy farming to astronomy in an outdoor setting. The committee report pointed up the fact that the variety of outdoor learning experiences which occur is limited only by the ingenuity of the teacher. At J.A.D. McCurdy School in Huron Park, there is an Outdoor Club which is an extra-curricular activity. About 60 children turn up after school hours for ac- tivities in the outdoors. The committee noted that since the community finds difficulty in providing leadership for Cubs, Scouts, Brownies and Guides, the school is finding it necessary to give the type of training previously offered by those organizations. A side effect has been that leaders for the future are being trained and already, high school students are helping out with elementary school students for various outdoor projects. In the five county high schools, a variety of outdoor education activities ,are provided, but at South Huron District High School in Exeter, a more concentrated program is offered than Priest's brother in Peru disaster Father John Mooney, priest of St. Peter's and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Churches, recently received news that the parish of his brother, Father Tom Mooney in Peru was struck with a double tragedy. The little towns of Mocupe and Zana were almost completely swept away when the Zana river poured over its banks devastating the country. Torrential rains, the worst in 60 years, followed by floods from the hills, were responsible for wiping out all the buildings ex- cept the church in Mocupe. The rectory, which another Mooney brother, Father Paul, had built while he was in Peru a few years ago, was demolished. Father Tom Mooney's report said the river deposited large amounts of silt on the rice crops or had washed away the land so that farmers had no hope of a harvest. However, he said, although the people have lost both their homes and their incomes they are going ahead to rebuild and don't seem to be discouraged. He said the damage on a nationwide scale was greater than during the huge earthquake that hit the country in recent years. The local Roman Catholic parish helps to support Father Mooney's Peruvian parish. anywhere else in the county. There, the total Grade 9 class goes to a science camp for a three-day period under the supervision of their teachers, and the Grade 13 biology class a three-day jaunt to Stokes Bay where the students "live in another world" and enjoy educational hiking expeditions with a biology flavor, There are other outings for SH-, DHS classes throughout the year as well, but these jaunts are shorter and less involved. South Huron school also has an Outers Club which is voluntary — and very popular with the students, They enjoy campouts in the fall and the winter, hikes and canoe trips and have employed various and ingenious methods to raise funds for a fleet of canoes for their members. One of the leading lights for the SHDHS Outers Club is teacher Carl Mills, also a member of the committee making the presen- tation to the board. Mills said he finds that modern-• day students refuse to accept responsibility for their problems in life, expect others to care for them and won't put forth any effort for themselves. The Outers Club, says Mills, puts the students in a position where they must accept responsibility and make decisions, take care of them- selves and in some cases, proves to them they can do what previously might have been considered impossible, Mills showed slides of the Outers Club members — girls and boys who camped outdoors in 20 degree below zero weather — "and came through just fine". Seven further recom- mendations were made to the board. They were that all schools in Huron be encouraged to develop sound outdoor education programs; that a department of education course in outdoor education be offered in Huron in the near future, or if this is not feasible, that in-service session would be necessary; that a method of co-ordinating an outdoor education program be considered so that excessive use or over-crowding of an area would be avoided; that each school be responsible for con- ducting its own program and for determining its own budget figure for that purpose; that outdoor education be. a year- round activity not reserved only for warm, pleasant weather; that outdoor education be approached as an interdisciplinary subject — not just science by history, geography, art, language, physical education, agriculture, etc.; and thatschoolsin Huron be encouraged to make use of various areas to suit the subject matter. Members of the outdoor education committee were Chairman Elliott; vice-chairman Ron McKay, Hullett Central Public School; Miss Margaret Salmon, J. A. D. McCurdy School; Don Finkbeiner, Stephen Central PS; Carl Mills, SHDHS; Frank Madill, board office; and Clarence McDonald, Exeter, trustee. At the evening meeting, Bruce Shaw, chairman of the academic planning committee and a teacher at SHDHS, told the board that the seven sub-committees which have been heard by the trustees in the past few months, held 54 meetings, spent 151/2 school days and spent a total of $112.60. Shaw termed the sub- committee's contribution "meaningful". Another member of the com- mittee, John Stringer, principal of GDCI, said that if the com- mittee could select one subject which should be treated as a priority item by the board, it would be curriculum develop- ment. Two recommendations were passed on to the board by the academic planning committee. They were that a new board-staff advisory committee be formed to assume the duties and functions of the academic planning com- mittee and the advisory council, now to be dissolved; and that the board compile a list of all the recommendations offered by the sub-committees and state what action has been taken on them, for distribution to the members of the board, the teachers and the local newspapers.
