TEACHER INFORMATIONORIENTING YOUR STUDENTSOver the years, we have realized when students arrive clearly understanding the rules and responsibilitiesof being an Outdoor Science School participant, they inevitably have a more positive, and therefore, moreeducational experience. The time you spend preparing your students will help to ensure their success. Thefollowing techniques have proven to be successful in preparing students:1. Advise students and parents of behavioral expectations☼ Review the Rules & Responsibilities and Behavior Agreement Form (located in back of packet)☼ Send the Parent Packet home for STUDENTS AND PARENTS TO READ TOGETHER, SIGN andreturn to you. (Students sent home for discipline reasons will not receive a refund).☼ All students and parents must sign the Behavior Agreement Form2. Introduce students to THEIR ROLE☼ As an enthusiastic learner in a residential school setting and a field study environment☼ As a member of a cabin team with students from other schools☼ As someone who will be asked to try new things (e.g., food that they are not used to eating)SCHEDULE A SCIENCE SCHOOL ORIENTATIONIn an effort to prepare your class for their learning experience at the Outdoor School, and to help buildinterest and enthusiasm, we recommend holding a parent and/or student informational meeting. We haveincluded a DVD in this packet that will help prepare students for their visit and will answer most ofparents' and students' questions. For new schools or for schools with very nervous parents and/orstudents, we can send one of our staff members to your school to present the orientation video andanswer any questions. The visit usually lasts 45 minutes to an hour. If you would like to schedule a visitfrom one of our staff members please contact us at 831-338-2128.ARRIVAL, DEPARTURE & LUGGAGE PROCEDURESArrival/Departure By Bus☼ Inform Senior Program Director the week prior to your scheduled visit regarding how students andluggage will be arriving to camp.☼ Arrange for Buses to arrive at Camp Campbell at 10:00 a.m. on arrival day.
