The Outdoor Program took place last May in the George Washington National Forest, in Fort Valley, Virginia. Attendees included Hearthstone School teachers and students from grades three through eleven. The highlights of the program included fishing, rock climbing, hiking, orienteering, and camping.
The outdoor program was designed and led by Aron Weisgerber, a teacher at Hearthstone School. This is what he had to say about the experience this past spring: “The location was very diverse, giving us the opportunity to practice and hone multiple skills, including rock climbing, wild food preparation, and primitive camping skills, within a small national forest. The orienteering exercise was very beneficial for the students and overall I think that the location and exercises we completed were successful.”
