Students participate in stream ecology by hiking 1–2 miles to search for macroinvertebrates and use identification keys to classify their findings. They engage in meditation and wellness programming focused on the 5 major types of people impacted by grief and loss, presented by a Montana-based healer. Canoeing offers a physically active and joyful way to explore the environment. Wildlife experiences included observing bison, elk, deer, and a variety of bird species in their natural habitats.
