The Wilderness Classroom
We have a fun year of learning planned and look forward to interacting with your classroom. Dave and Amy take off on the final 5,000 mile leg of their journey across North America on May 9th. Join them this spring as they explore the Great Lakes by kayak (May-June, 2012). When school resumes in the Fall catch up with Dave and Amy as kayak from Maine to Key West (September, 2012 - April, 2013).
We have developed a wide range of worksheets, lesson plans, and other free resources that will help your class participate in the adventure of a lifetime!
