Do you enjoy camping, exploring nature and creative writing? In May 2010, join a CLC Field Study Trip to the beautiful Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area, located in the mountainous western tip of Virginia. You will learn, explore and hike the Appalachian Trail and return to camp each night. Plus, you’ll receive seven credit hours for the following courses.
Meet the critters. The field biology class (BIO 128 Natural History of Selected Areas) focuses on the area’s ecology, including forest and stream communities, plant succession, salamanders and aquatic invertebrates.
Write poetry and prose surrounded by nature. The ENG 224 (Creative Writing II) class is a unique opportunity for growth through written expression. Your experiences and observances will be a springboard for unleashing the creative writer in you. You’ll engage in creative nonfiction and poetry, using not only your observances of the beauty and forces of nature, but also your inward reflections on the personal significance of “The Journey.”
Learn to survive in the wild. In PED 229 (Experience in the Outof- Doors), you learn how to live in and travel through the Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area with minimum environmental impact.
