By golly this has to be a SUPER PROGRAM! Congratulations on providing a 
wonderful learning experience to the  7th to 12th grade students. I have 
been an advocate for this type of outdoor classroom education for years. I 
do caution you; however, for the public schools may develop this into a 
watered down program with very little substance. Having worked in curriculum 
develop as a teacher this does happen quite often. Good Luck with this 
direction and charge ahead with quality.
