3. Outdoor education We value the tradition of having our 6 th graders participate in OE experiences. In the past it has been in the spring. We realize that based on the purpose of teambuilding and establishing relationships, spring is much too late. Therefore, we will have outdoor education in the fall. We are going to the Genesee Experiential Outdoor Challenge in Golden, Colorado.
