School groups take part in Huntsman field courses for a number of reasons. For most it is as an extension of their science class but for a few it is as a fun and exciting field trip. For example, teachers from Eastview Secondary School from Barrie, Ontario bring a group of high school students to the Huntsman every other year. The students come to have fun and learn about the marine environment, its organisms and to experience the local area. They are a group of students who enjoy the outdoors so spending at least half of every day in the field suits them well.
Another example would be the group from Glenview Senior Public School in Toronto, Ontario. These grade 8 students come to the Huntsman for a year-end trip. While here they take part in Huntsman activities but also visit the Sunbury Shores Centre to do art, walk across a road only accessible at low tide to Minister’s Island for a history tour, and go cosmic bowling.
Huntsman field courses are flexible and can be adapted to meet the needs of a variety of groups. If you are looking for a unique facility for a field trip, visit our website, www.huntsmanmarine.ca to see what we can offer you.
