Fall Term
The Fall Expedition is the culmination and preview of the entire trimester. It
is a time when we achieve full integration of all subject areas. The students
are able to make connections between Science, Geography, English, and
Outdoor Recreation. It is also when we physically are able to see the upper
level of the Deschutes Basin and starts our move to the Columbia following
Whychus Creek to the Deschutes. The Fall Expedition is in the Three
Sisters Wilderness, starting and finishing at Pole Creek Trail head.
What is Fall Term all about?
Creating a knowledge-base and a solid
educational foundation of our community and our surroundings.
