What is Ecology?
Ecology will explore the relationships between organisms and their environments, focusing on how living organisms interact with each other and with their non-living surroundings. The course covers a wide range of topics, including ecosystems, biodiversity, population dynamics, energy flow, nutrient cycling, and the impact of human activities on the environment. Each week will have a different theme of study. Experts in the field of Ecology and opportunities for careers in related fields will be highlighted.
What about team building and outdoor skills?
Students will also work on developing team skill through initiatives, and the low/high ropes course.
Participants will have an opportunity to try outdoor recreation activities such as canoeing, rock climbing, archery, and fishing.
Be Prepared!
Each day we will spend time outside in the elements, so make sure you are wearing appropriate clothes.
