Environmental Education (EE)

This Logan program provides students with unique opportunities to gain real-world experiences, become scientists, bond with classmates, develop independence, and experience group-learning situations. These experiences are accomplished by single field days, lab workdays, and extended overnight field trips. The EE program experiences build on each other starting at Primary all the way through to Advanced School. Read about the latest overnight trips here.
