Adventure Project for the Wisconsin 4-H Naturespace Curriculum : Volume 1 of 2

Abstract

The Adventure Project is one portion of Naturespace, the Wisconsin 4-H environmental education curriculum. The project provides opportunity for self-propelled outdoor sports activities such as bicycling, camping, canoeing and cross-country skiing. Selected environmental education activities are infused into these experiences. Established University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension curriculum development guidelines have been used to produce this project. An agent/leader workshop has been designed to incorporate the Adventure Project into a general Naturespace workshop. The project can be used as a vehicle to further the understanding of the environmental education concepts of habitat, population, ecosystems and human impact.
