This week Sara and I and a small group of campers launched Inspire Nature's Day Camp at Humber Bay Park. The intent was to give everyone the opportunity to learn naturally. This happens best when children (and adults) are first met with an experience that engages their interest. Next, the learner needs time to explore the context and the environment. If given the right opportunity and enough time, human beings naturally begin to investigate and apply what they have found engaging and have had time to explore. In order for the learning to be complete, we as social animals need the opportunity to communicate, so please watch our movies with your children and feel free to post your comments to share what you notice and what you wonder about their learning!
Please follow the link below to the iMovie that we made that documents this learning process during our first day at Humber Bay. Keep watching this space to see how the children's experience grows naturally through the week following the same process (engagement, exploration, investigation and communication):
