🌲 Winter Camp at the Waubun School Forest ❄️
Last week Kick - Starters, Kindergarteners, 1st graders, and 3rd graders came out to the Waubun School Forest for a meaningful Winter Camp experience. The day celebrated the beauty of nature, the richness of Ojibwe culture, and the wonder of winter wildlife. We are excited to welcome 2nd grade, and 5th graders this week.
Here’s what they explored:
📖 Ojibwe Storytelling: Students learned about the important role winter storytelling plays in Ojibwe culture, preserving traditions and teaching life lessons. Thank you Vince Olson for working with us and sharing your wisdom.
🐦 Winter Birds: They studied the unique behaviors of winter birds and created suet cakes to support these resilient creatures in our forest. Huge shout out to Benson + Turner Foods, Inc. for donating the lard.
🌨️ Outdoor Exploration: Embracing the crisp winter air, students connected with the natural beauty of the School Forest.
We’re proud to provide opportunities like these that deepen students’ understanding of culture, community, and the environment. Thank you for supporting programs that bring learning to life in nature!
