An outdoor education workshop at Proud Lake Recreation Area in Commerce Township. Hiking, canoeing, fishing, an introduction to Project Learning Tree, Geocaching and Adventure Racing will be on the agenda! An active, fun day, with lunch included, for all who attend!

The goal of this active session is to show how teaching the tactical aspect of game play can increase student knowledge and improve overall performance. Too often students are taught the skills of a game (i.e. passing and receiving) through various drills over a few days and then are expected to use those skills witin game play. The problem with this is that students have not experienced why learning/practicing skills are important or how they are used within the game. We hope to demonstrate that teaching tactical components during play is not only needed, but also very effective.

Participants will: understand the psychological concerns demonstrated by ‘cutters’ and ‘bulimics;’ develop skills for correctly identifying instances of self-mutilation and eating disorders; realize that these health issues cannot be treated by school intervention alone; demonstrate and practice techniques for encouraging students to self-report; and examine strategies for making effective referral plans which help students and their families’ follow-through on seeking medical attention.

Audience includes: Teachers, administrators, school counselors, psychologists, social workers, home-school liaisons, family service workers, community agency staff, medical professionals, and family members.
