Camping Programs - Critical Success Factors In Accessible Programs, Margarita Solis Jun 2001

Camping Programs - Critical Success Factors In Accessible Programs, Margarita Solis

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

According to Havens (1992), the last two decades alone have brought legal action and legislation which mandate inclusion of people with disabilities in educational, recreational and vocational settings, including camping programs. The process of deinstitutionalization has placed many individuals with disabilities back in the community to live, work, and play. Moreover, the barriers to participation by persons with disabilities in programs are no longer insurmountable. As camps continue to progress and offer an expansion of opportunities, camps are experiencing the necessity to provide programs and develop facilities that are available to persons with all ability levels.

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Destined to become a classic, should be made into a film, a must read ... , what additional superlatives can a reviewer make about a book? All those who call themselves an outdoor educator should add The Earth is Enough ... to their list of recommended books for older (sixth grade and up) children, and for all adults who care about children! In this day and age when the electronification of childhood is common place, Middleton's saga can inspire youngsters to seek outdoor pursuits that will open their eyes to adventures far greater than any contrived by some virtual reality …

Developing Aquatic Resource Stewards, Anthony J. Fedler, William F. Siemer, Barbara A. Knuth And Bruce E. Matthews May 2001

Developing Aquatic Resource Stewards, Anthony J. Fedler, William F. Siemer, Barbara A. Knuth And Bruce E. Matthews

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Intuitively there exists a strong relationship between participation and stewardship activity, and the significant life experiences research conducted by Tanner (1980) and others offers some support for this. A fundamental tenet in many angler and boater education programs is the importance of caring for aquatic resources, with the logical assumption being that the deeper the connection built with the natural world through fishing or boating experiences, the more likely stewardship outcomes will occur. Outdoor recreation activities place the participant in direct contact with nature, thereby heightening environmental awareness and concern (Geisler et al. 1977). Work by Nabhan (1994) and others …

A Case For The Place Of Music In The Outdoor Education Program, Marie Bernardy Dec 2000

A Case For The Place Of Music In The Outdoor Education Program, Marie Bernardy

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Knowing this, music can become an indispensable part of outdoor education programs because music summons the basic connections that sustain human life: our fellow humans and the planet Earth. Recognizing nature as the point of origin for sounds in music is to truly touch the roots of music. Recognizing music as a form of communication for humans is to touch the roots of culture. Thus, we have a triad of influences among people, nature and music. This triad is worth exploring in outdoor education programs because of what it can teach participants about themselves and about their world.

From The Editor, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

This issue of Taproot launches a two-part series about music and outdoor education. It is sad, but true, that many outdoor programs include little or no music learning opportunities for participants. Music is relegated to the realm of campfire singing for the most part and hence, an important avenue to fostering environmental consciousness is lost. Byron wrote of music played without end by the natural world:

Review: The Public Television Series, Journey To Planet Earth, Patrick K. Pryor Dec 2000

Review: The Public Television Series, Journey To Planet Earth, Patrick K. Pryor

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Sensational journalism, dramatic music, real science, and vivid computer animation lead the viewer on a journey across a world of cultures. At each stop one is compelled to feel compassion for the citizens of the far away region, and for those in our own highly developed nation. Although technologically advanced, the US is not immune to the same ecological, political, and racial predicaments. The narrator illuminates this immunity using rhetoric laced with American pride.

From Romanticism To Deep Ecology: The Continuing Evolution In American Environmental Thought, David Ackerson Dec 2000

From Romanticism To Deep Ecology: The Continuing Evolution In American Environmental Thought, David Ackerson

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Nash argues that compared to the millennia of anti-wilderness sentiment. the pace of intellectual change in the previous two centuries is so rapid that it must be considered revolutionary (1982 P. XI). Viewed in the context of human hi story and human attitudes, this is true. However, the actual development of a pro-wilderness viewpoint in America has followed an evolutionary course from the Romantic Movement through Emerson, Thoreau, Muir, and Leopold. The latest, logical manifestation of this evolutionary progress is the philosophy known as deep ecology.
