2009+-+2010+Field+Trips

To the Families of Freshmen CEC Students, June 26, 2009

The freshmen class will be taking several field trips during the 2009-2010 academic year. The purpose of these field trips is to provide real-world opportunities for the students in our classes and broaden their understanding of our various curriculum areas. Due to the tough economic times that we all face, as a team we wanted to plan the trips as far in advance as we could so that all of our students can start saving for them, and ensure that the trips will indeed be successful.

To kick off our year we will be taking a trip to East Carolina University’s Ropes Course, August 7. The course is designed to foster team building through interactive challenges. While we are in Greenville, we will tour of the campus. This is the perfect way to start our year. The fall field trip will be to the mountains of North Carolina, September 2, 3, & 4 We will tour at least two colleges, go gem mining, visit Linville Caverns, hike to Linville Falls, visit Grandfather Mountain, and tour Biltmore Estate. We will stay at Cragmont Youth Camp. We will also tour Barton College and UNC-Asheville.
