1996For one week each spring, the classrooms of Sterling City's 5th and 6th graders move to the H.E. Butt Foundation Camp in the Texas Hill Country. There the children learn about the outdoor environment and the importance of conserving nature, as well as skills of communicating about the outdoor world. More than 500 students have participated in the Sterling City Outdoor Education Program which has been recognized Statewide and become the prototype for similar programs in other communities. The grant that sparked the program was provided by Permian Basin Area Foundation in 1996. |
