(*A note on curricular conversations: Our planned lessons, before the hiking/camping trip, are compressed versions of what we teach our semester students; these lessons will help make the trip experience—the land and the human travelling companions—the central text of this course. We welcome broader and personalized conversations with every camp participant, on topics you teach and curricula or programs you are designing. During the hike, we will model and discuss a few examples of our interdisciplinary lessons, and our place-specific study of this Vermont setting.)
