First in the Field
Rhea Valley Elementary School is the first school group to visit our Center and Field Station for a day of experiential learning.
Sixty-five 5th grade students and their teachers shared a full day of hands-on activities with BRDC staff and guides. Rhea Valley Elementary School is the first school group to visit our Center and Field Station for a day of experiential learning.
The primary function of BRDC revolves around education. We believe that hands-on activities in the field are the most powerful way to reach students. This hands-on, experiential learning allows students to become fully immersed and actively engaged, with tools to promote critical thinking and creativity. Enhancing lessons from the classroom with experiential learning outdoors is vital to our mission to inspire curiosity, discovery, and stewardship and redefine our youth’s relationship with nature.
We are proud to have been given the opportunity to Explore, Discover, and Share our Center, Field Station, and wonders of the Blue Ridge with Mr. Eskridge’s science classes.
