PLUM
Pine Lane Up in the Mountains
WHAT IS PLUM
PLUM is an annual tradition at Pine Lane for 6th grade students and their teachers. Its purpose is threefold. First, it reinforces environmental science units taught at Pine Lane by supplementing the Geology and Environmental Science standards which we teach in the Douglas County Schools. Second, it provides students with the opportunity to learn “life” skills such as the confidence to meet new challenges and living more independently. Third, the time together with their classmates and teachers develops trust and cooperation which, in turn, builds a stronger “community of learners” when everyone returns to Pine Lane.
Our Parent Information Meeting was held on February 7th.
Below are links for the presentation, as well as the packet of information that was sent home.
WHERE IS PLUM
Stone Canyon Outdoor Edventures - During our Outdoor Education program, we strive to transform how students experience learning and education. The students at Stone Canyon receive outstanding instruction in an engaging environment, opportunities to step outside of their comfort zone, and unique experiences to foster social and emotional growth.
The Stone Canyon Instructor team provides the majority of the instruction and facilitation to visiting students over the course of their trip. Our highly trained and enthusiastic staff will utilize a wide variety of teaching techniques to make each learning opportunity memorable, while taking every precaution to maintain the physical and emotional safety of each camper.
