Down by the Bay
Each April, the 7th grade spends a couple days along the South River (a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay) at Camp Wabanna (MD). Focused on environmental sustainability, 7th graders explored the shoreline, enjoyed outdoor adventures, and apparently attempted to squish their entire grade into a single hammock.
To conclude their study of sustainability, 7th graders presented Tiny House Community Projects. In groups, they researched housing insecurity and sustainable design, and then designed a model of a tiny home for a specific client or group and a community layout with shared amenities. Groups then pitched their design to a panel of Burke adults (Susan H., Steve, Ryan, and John) at Wabanna.
