Our 7th & 8th Maine Trip Highlighted by Schoodic Institute

The Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park was the destination for our 7th & 8th graders for a 5 day program at the end of October.

The institute recently recognized the program in which our students participated.

🌟We’re shouting out our SEA Stars this #FieldworkFriday, including the students and teachers who take part and the exceptional environmental educators leading kids out in the field! This week we wrapped up the fall season of Schoodic Education Adventure (SEA), our immersive, multi-day field trip for middle schoolers, where kids get “hands-on, feet-in” science learning in the tidepools, forests, rocky coasts, and summits of Schoodic and Acadia.

A big thank-you to partners and supporters like Friends of Acadia, National Park Service, and L.L.Bean who make the program possible.

SEA you next year!

1-2: Once the tide goes out, students get to go tide-pooling for Marine Investigations class. After turning over enough rocks, most will find a crab or two!
3-4: In the Touch Tank program, students get to pass around a variety of intertidal creatures, from sea urchins to periwinkles.
5: Geology class along the Sundew Trail includes stops at scenic overlooks. Here, students are learning about the glacial impact on Mount Desert Island and how Cadillac Mountain used to be part of a volcano that was four times taller!
