Outdoor Education
Each year our Upper Elementary students have the opportunity to attend The Discovery Program at Camp Allen in Navasota, TX. This Outdoor Education Program acts as an extension of the classroom. We provide students with hands-on, outdoor experiences to enhance awareness, understanding and a sense of responsibility toward each other and our environment.
Students are supervised at all times during their stay at Camp Allen. They will be placed in study groups of approximately 12 students learning together under the direction of a Discovery Instructor.
Smaller Scholars provides chaperons who will reside with the students during non-instructional times.

Night Activities
Many three-hour blocks may be a combination of two classes: for example, aquatics and entomology. Night blocks could include a hike and a campfire. The Challenge Course and Horseback riding are also available, pending group size, age, and duration of stay.
