Why do we bring our students to Camp JOLT?
“Because Camp JOLT provides students with Educational Adventures to Promote Environmental Stewardship, Personal Growth, and Academic Excellence.” – fifth grade teacher
We as educators cannot recreate these outdoor experiences in our classrooms. This is a once in a
lifetime experience!
Research says…
• Research shows that the great majority of adults who are active in the environmental science, engineering, and advocacy fields had formative outdoor experiences during childhood
