Site: A field on Merlin Way in Dexter (in the cold de sac)
This not an Ann Arbor Public School Site; We have permission to be there
It is from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM (Students return to Pattengill by 2:00 PM). It is an all day, outdoor field trip where students explore how the pioneers lived in early America as well as observing heat exchanges. There will be two classes sharing 10 camp sites.
Students are to plan a meal; understand the component needed for a fire; build a fire with the wood on site; cook a meal; and clean up the site. Simultaneously, students are keeping warm and dry. Adults may attend; however, they are not required to attend. Adults may want to bring a portable chair.
Students are to dress in 2 layers from head to toe. If a student is not properly dressed, the school has the discretion to deny attendance on the trip. Carry everything he or she brings.
Students are not to bring knives, matches, glass or any object not permitted at school. Plastic knives are permissible.
If a student becomes cold, there is an adult fire to warm him or her. In an emergency, parents will be notified. I've survived 12 Winter Survivals with worse temperature than what we are currently experiencing in Michigan.
FYI: The trip is only cancelled if the wind chill is below zero or if school is cancelled.
