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

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.
