My
Experience at Foothill Horizons
By Erin Ovalle, Catherine Everett School,
Modesto
I
liked Outdoor Ed. because I got to meet students
that would be going to my Junior High. I made a
lot of new friends. Another reason I liked
Outdoor Ed was because I learned so much about
nature, and how to survive in the wilderness. I
also learned how to appreciate nature more—to
not scare the animals or litter or make it hard
for animals to live their life.
My favorite
part of outdoor education was everything! But
my most favorite part was the night hike. When
we went to the Sky Tower and looked at the
stars. My favorite part about the stars were
the Greek myths that we were told. To this day,
I still look for Orion’s belt and the Seven
Sisters.
I learned a
ton from outdoor ed! I learned how to make
fire, which was probably the coolest thing to
do, because we succeeded, in making fire. I
still have the “evidence” on my journal—holes
from the ember went through about six pages!
I’m very proud of that!
I also
learned about how worms compost food waste. I
learned that it is especially important for
people to recycle, if they don’t already, and
keep nature spectacular!
