Title: Great Adventure offers biology program for high schoolers
Post by: rjholla2003 on April 30, 2010, 04:48:40 PM
The Asbury Park Press has a great story about the program right here (http://www.app.com/article/20100429/NEWS/4290350/1007/NEWS03/Great-Adventure-offers-biology-program-for-high-schoolers).

Has anyone been to one of these days yet? If not, would you show this article to your teachers and try to get your school to attend one of these? It's an amazing program that not only helps the park get closer with the community, but truly helps students learn more about the subject of their choice since experiential learning captures everything in a new light. I'm hoping this program takes off and becomes a park staple for years to come.

This is a great program that SHOULD be here for years to come. Reggie, how long has this been published for?  The only concern I'd have is that schools usually plan their spring trips months in advance so it may already be too late this year?  Anyway, I'd think the cost is rather low as well.

Ps- buy the book The Soprano State to learn the god awful truth about our state :(. It's a NY times best seller lol

EDIT: I deleted my original comments since I realized afterwards they were too political... well, and I didn't want the state government attacking this site lol.  Just buy the book.  Trust me.  Things aren't what they seem or what you hear.

I wish I saw it, lol.

That was published I believe the day before I posted it. The program just started last week. It looked fun in the previews that they had for us, and I'm sure that the program is pleasing plenty of students and teachers. I definitely like that they worked with the various educational institutions to build this program.

My library might have it. I'll check this week while I'm getting my mom a present for Mother's Day.
My cousin loves this kind of stuff and all the gov't conspiracies that have been circulated in the last 50 or so years.
