Dear Educator,

Covenant Cedars Outdoor Education program was created to give students a fun, interactive learning experience. It combines both classes and activities that allow students to learn through doing. This packet is intended to introduce you to the outdoor education program Covenant Cedars has to offer.

Our program is intended for 4th through 6th grade, but can be adjusted to any grade level. It is offered in the Fall and the Spring with day and overnight trips available. The average cost for our program is around $15 per student (this includes a meal) depending upon the schedule you wish to create with us.

We will work with you to design a schedule that is right for you. It can be tailored to your students based on the classes and activities you choose. Classes include basic first aid, water ecology, fishing, map & compass, and trees. Activities include night hikes, challenge course, waterfront, nature trails, zipline, and climbing wall. Most classes and activities cost $2-$3 and can last from a half hour to two hours each.

On our website, you will find information on the classes and activities. You will also find a sample schedule, meal information, lodging information, and a registration form. The registration form will guide you through the scheduling process. Call us at (402) 757-3241 if you have questions and to check on the availability of dates. Also, feel free to visit the Outdoor Education link on our web site, www.cedars.org.

Thanks,

Andy Perdew

Program Director
