Naturalist Substitute Fall 2010
The Outdoor Science School experience is available to fifth and/or sixth grade students accompanied by their classroom teacher who spend four or five days living on site. Classes are conducted in the forest, at the edge of the creek, in the chapparral, and in the meadow. The most useful tools for learning are readily available: the students' five senses. The subject area most emphasized in this hands-on learning experience is the science of ecology, the relationship between living things and their environment. From an understanding of basic ecological concepts, it is hoped that a deeper concern and sense of responsibility for the environment will result. A second and equally important outcome of the program is the social aspect. The 3 Rs are emphasized, respect, responsibility, and reliability, and are reinforced through the sharing of chores and small group living. Sharing cabin living encourages making new friends and dealing with problems as they occur. The students are also encouraged to understand the importance of a positive attitude and the value of being willing to adapt to new settings and situations.

Program: Every Student a Success! That is the overall mission of the Merced County of Education, and it happens here every week at MCOE’s Jack L. Boyd Outdoor School at Green Meadows where we have been providing exceptional residential environmental education experiences for the children of Central California since 1960. Briefly- Programs are generally four or five days in length and most frequently serve fifth or sixth grade students. Our students are representative of California’s rich diversity, with over 35 language groups represented in their home environments. The curriculum each week varies with the goals of the client school, but all programs address core content areas and positive social development. High school students receive leadership skills training during the week, the elementary school teachers receive inservice training and teach during the program, and the up-and-coming leaders in environmental education are mentored through our year-long intern-naturalist positions. The Jack L. Boyd Outdoor School at Green Meadows is in Fish Camp, California, at the edge of Yosemite National Park. We are at 5,000 feet in elevation which gives us snow programs from December through April most years! In addition to the massive granite, waterfalls, and giant Sequoias of neighboring Yosemite we have “Big Creek” running right through our campus, an active beaver pond, a meadow, and one million acres of our Sierra National forest classroom surrounding our school. It is an amazing and inspiring place to live and teach! By car we are 5 minutes from the Southern Yosemite entrance, 1.5 hours to Fresno, 3.5 hours to Sacramento, and 4 hours to San Francisco
