Get Outside! And have a blast!
Get Outside is an ongoing adventure that encourages kids to be creative outside and capture images for scavenger hunts and activity challenges.
Each week, club members will receive a scavenger hunt list that will require them to be outside to complete.  They may need to photograph themselves smelling a flower or creating art from twigs.  They'll often need to interpret the scavenger hunt clues to get their picture (i.e. "find balance in nature" could be interpreted as the student balancing on a rock or a perfectly symmetrical tree). There aren't any right or wrong answers, just opportunities to be creative and have fun in nature.
During each class, we'll discuss our outdoor experiences, share suggestions for weekly challenges, and show off our scavenger hunt photos. Students will be expected to have their photos ready to be shared from their devices before class or sent to me in the classroom so I can share the pictures with the class for them.
Students will have the opportunity to talk about their experiences and comment on classmates' photos. Students are encouraged to ask questions and share ideas with one another.
This is not a photography class.  It is a great opportunity to work on photography skills but no related instruction will be provided. Students can use phones, tablets, or digital cameras to complete the challenges.

A new scavenger hunt list will be posted in the classroom at the end of each class so students will have a week to complete the challenge.
