Adventures Today, Resilience Forever
HSES’s Ecolink Outdoor Education program takes our deeply engaging classroom learning to the next level. In third, fourth, and fifth grades, students enjoy outdoor adventures in Texas that complement their grades’ science and history studies. Starting in sixth grade, students travel farther afield, learning through wilderness treks, marine investigations, and mountain adventures in other states. Along the way, they develop a deeper love and respect for our environment, embrace all types of challenges, and grow into even better friends and leaders.
Our third graders enjoy their first Ecolink trip during three days at Camp Allen near Navasota, TX, where they learn, enjoy, and explore in the Piney Woods.
Fourth and fifth graders spend four days at Camp Eagle in West Texas, combining outdoor experiences with interactive, hands-on learning activities.
Sixth-grade adventures at New Mexico’s Camp Glorieta involve zip lines, ropes courses, mountain biking, overnight kayak trips, rock climbing, and, of course, s’mores around the campfire!
In seventh grade, students travel to the Catalina Island Marine Institute in Southern California to explore marine ecology through snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, and hands-on lab investigations.
Through Noah’s Ark Adventure, our eighth graders participate in an exciting six-day rafting, hiking, and camping trip in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.
Scholarship funds are available to eligible Middle School students through the Alec Hilman Pura Vida Annual Award. With questions or for more information, contact Brooke Frank, Director of Ecolink Outdoor Education.
