Description
As students progress through this course, they will participate in a variety of outdoor physical activities and journal about those activities. While participating in outdoor physical activities, students will develop an understanding of the benefits of physical activity and how it relates to a healthy lifestyle. Through the completion of coursework and outdoor experience, students will learn respect for wildlife and their habitat while focusing on safety.
The Outdoor Education course offers two unique opportunities. One unique opportunity is earning a Florida Boating Safety Education ID Card by successfully completing the boating coursework. The second unique opportunity is earning the right to enter a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Field Day event upon successfully completing the hunting coursework.
