Plan now for the summer of
2009
Field Geology/Biology of the Rocky
Mountains for
High School and Home-school Seniors!
A
science class that takes you away….literally!
Travel with us this summer to the Rocky
Mountains to study the various life forms and geological
features of the region.
You will be required to prepare a notebook and journal of the
concepts studied. We will explore places like Rocky Mountain National
Park, Grand Tetons, Dinosaur Nation Monument, Yellowstone, and more. Students must be
physically fit for camping and hiking. If you are interested
in earning a credit in high school physical geology or biology call
Angie at the Freedom Center Academy (843)215-1469 for more
information.
Public School students –
this may qualify for a way to make up seat-time. Call for
details
