UW-LaCrosse, Mississippi
River Camp
www.uwlax.edu/precollegetutoring/summer
The Mississippi River Adventure 2001 Introductory Session is a week-long
residential program for middle-school students that introduces them to
a college campus and the natural sciences. Scientific study, applied mathematic
principles, and computer skills will be used to identify and examine water-quality
problems in the Mississippi and La Crosse River watersheds. Classrooms,
canoeing, and campfires are all part of this hands-on adventure.
Our Intermediate Session is about self-challenge and
respect for personal choice. This outdoor experience uses canoeing, camping,
cave exploration, and a ropes course to develop leadership skills, cooperative
learning strategies, and cross-cultural coalitions within a formal curriculum.
Effective communication and conflict resolution are among the benefits
of this program. All backgrounds and cultural perspectives will be honored.
The UW-LaCrosse summer program provides weekly tutoring
at the Norwalk/Ontario elementary school library. Student ages range from
first grade through middle school.
