National Geographic Student Expeditions - On Campus

jsylvia@coa.edu (Jean Sylvia) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 14:00 -0400

From our seaside base at College of the Atlantic, work in teams to craft your On Assignment project through dynamic workshops and excursions with National Geographic experts and trip leaders. You might write an article on a local personality, create a documentary film, or delve deeper into the marine ecology of one of the most pristine stretches of the Atlantic seaboard. A typical day begins with a workshop or exercise focused on your On Assignment project—a talk with a local expert about changing whale populations, for instance, or a lesson in film editing. Then head out on field assignments or choose from an array of active excursions—hiking, kayaking, biking, or exploring nearby islands. We'll return to campus in the late afternoon so that you can take advantage of some free time to play a pick-up game of basketball or write in your journal. In the evening, attend an enrichment workshop on topics such as whale behavior or the region's maritime history, or organize an “open-mic” night with your friends. On the final day of the program, you'll share your On Assignment project with the group.
