Camp Edwards 2015

Downers Grove SD58 News

Each fall, District 58 sixth graders embark on three-day journeys to explore the great outdoors: Camp Edwards in East Troy, Wis.

Part of the District's outdoor education curriculum, sixth graders annually visit Camp Edwards to learn more about ecology, geology and the environment. They also gain important social-emotional learning skills through team building exercises.

These photos feature Hillcrest, Pierce Downer, Highland, Lester and Henry Puffer.

Special thanks to Hillcrest Principal Michelle Rzepka, Lester Parent Dan Gowen and Henry Puffer Parent Heather Frank for contributing these photos.

"The weather has been great, and the kids all seem to be having fun!" Gowen said about his Camp Ed parent volunteer experience.
