Expedition: Yellowstone
Lewistown Junior High School made history on September 26th through September 29th of 2014 when 32 students and eight chaperons embarked on a trip of a lifetime. During these four days in late September students along with their chaperons stayed at the beautiful Lamar Valley Buffalo Ranch in Yellowstone National Park and took part in a curriculum based residential program. Expedition: Yellowstone teaches students about the natural and cultural history of Yellowstone National Park, investigates current issues affecting the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and promotes stewardship and preservation in the park and in home communities. Emphasis is on learning through direct experience in the outdoors. Students participate with teachers and parent chaperons in hikes, field investigations, discussions, creative dramatics, and journal writing.
