Puh'tok Field Trips

Description

Puh'tok's Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) program offers children a 3-day overnight field trip with an emphasis on using real-world science at 18 different stations in several different native habitats, including wetlands of stream and pond, as well as forest and meadow. Students will investigate each of the habitats. This MWEE program is designed directly along with Baltimore County Schools 6th grade curriculum to incorporate several aspects of STEAM. Each different habitat is classified as an investigation, within each investigation area there will be 3 stations running simultaneously. We are looking for qualified, engaging, and enthusiastic volunteers to assist in being program Station Leaders under the direction of our Puh'tok Lead Educators. Puh’tok will provide all resources and materials necessary to successfully execute each station, as well as detailed training to make the volunteers comfortable with the material. This is a fun and interactive program created to complement and reinforce classroom learning in an engaging outdoor environment. The goal is to find volunteers who are confident around children and interested in environmental science. We can provide everything needed for the field trip, but we can't do it without you! We will require a volunteer interview as well as a background check and fingerprinting.
