Journey On Lake Texoma At AllSaints Camp and Conference Center

Why do we bring our students to Camp JOLT? “Because Camp JOLT provides students with Educational Adventures to Promote Environmental Stewardship, Personal Growth, and Academic Excellence.” – fifth grade teacher We as educators cannot recreate these outdoor experiences in our classrooms. This is a once in a lifetime experience!

Research says… Research shows that the great majority of adults who are active in the environmental science, engineering, and advocacy fields had formative outdoor experiences during childhood http://www.education.com/reference/article/outdoor-education-science-math-diverse/
