Homecoming to Nature: Carver Students Return to The Ecology School in Maine for an Unforgettable Journey of Environmental Discovery

Here are our students with their parents just before boarding our chartered bus to Maine to return The Ecology School. The Carver community is grateful to The Grossman Family Foundation for making this awesome summer experience possible for Carver students.

For the second consecutive year, 25 (now) rising 7th graders returned to The Ecology School today for a summer experience full of discovery and memories. Next Sunday, a second group of rising Carver 6th graders will travel to The Ecology School for their first summer experience in Maine. We will continue to add a new cohort of rising 6th graders to this awesome summer program each year.

Read here about this special Carver summer initiative for Norwalk middle school students to experience a traditional New England sleepaway camp in Maine. They explore the woods, waters, and fields of The Ecology School at the River Bend Farm, a historic 105-acre farm located on a scenic bend in the Saco River, just twenty minutes from the Maine coast.

Attending The Ecology School in Maine for the summer offers middle school students an extraordinary experience that nurtures their love for nature and instills a deeper understanding of ecological systems. Surrounded by the pristine beauty of Maine's landscapes, students embark on a transformative journey of environmental education. Through hands-on activities, such as field research, organic farming, and wildlife exploration, they develop a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living beings. Collaborating with like-minded peers, they cultivate a sense of stewardship, learning how to protect and preserve the environment. The Ecology School in Maine becomes a sanctuary where young minds flourish, fostering a generation of eco-conscious individuals dedicated to shaping a sustainable future.
