Clearpool Enhances Curriculum with Overnight School Trips

An overnight trip is an opportunity for even greater immersion in a planned education or team-building experience. Multi-day field trip packages combine day programming with nighttime activities and accommodations for students, professionals and community groups.

Overnight trips include lodging and all meals; rates are based on group size. A choice of educational program or social activity for the evening is also offered; evening programs may be subject to an additional fee.

Accommodations for overnight school trips include five spacious cabins each with shared sleeping quarters for 24 students and 4 adults. Cabins are heated for year-round comfort and feature two wings, 5 private bathrooms, and open loft space.

Brook Lyn the Sheep

Found abandoned in a box with her brother in Brooklyn, NY, this sheep was rescued as a newborn. After she was stabilized by a wildlife rehabilitator, she was driven up to Green Chimneys Farm where the children hand fed her with bottles of warm milk. The responsibility of becoming a caretaker for a little animal like Brook Lyn gives students a chance to recognize their own ability to make a contribution. Many of the children have been “taken care” of all of their lives by caring parents, concerned teachers and mental health staff, but stepping up and holding a bottle for this little orphan lamb transforms them from service receivers to service providers.
