This Is Arkansas: Into The Outdoors
The Janet Huckabee Arkansas River Valley Nature Center is one of the more special places around the Fort Smith area and a truly splendid place in which to spend a day. A good place for all ages, The Western Arkansas Education Service Cooperative hosted a special day on Tuesday, October the 1st (2013) in which the Fort Smith, Paris, Waldron, and Booneville school districts took part in. This Is Arkansas was very pleased to have been invited to come along to film and produce the event and we strongly suspect that our production crew had just as much fun as any of the students participating did...perhaps even more so in some instances . The educational focus of the day was entitled Into The Outdoors and it was designed to educate both teachers and students alike in regards to the outdoor classroom educational model. Designed and planned by Dr. Curtis Varnell of the Western Arkansas Educational Service Cooperative, the day was funded by a grant from The Humanities Council and turned out to be both a very enjoyable day for all involved and a major success all the way around. Lessons were provided by Dr. Curtis Varnel, Patrick Millard (Waldron School District), Dr. Bret Stone (University of the Ozarks/Clarksville), and Karen Westcamp-Johnson & Chad Lowe (The Janet Huckabee Arkansas River Valley Nature Center). A wide variety of lessons were taught throughout the course of the day that included canoeing & kayaking education, archery education, Newton's Principles (mass, gravity, trajectory...), tree & bird recognition, Native American history & methods, and a guided nature hike -- all of which we've been able to capture and share in this special This Is Arkansas production. Here is an educational model that all classes, schools, and districts need to see and in which all teachers and students should be allowed the joy and benefit of experiencing.
