To give Students at the Wadena Composite the chance to experience Physical Education outside of the school’s four walls, while increasing the amount of students engaging in physical activity opening the door to give reason for learning.

To Gain skills in LIFE-LONG activities because of the recognition that few students go on to play basketball, volleyball, badminton etc., after high school but they will do activities such as camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, curling, and golfing to name a few.

TO Increase the percentage of students participating in Physical education class at the P.E. 30 level.

TO give opportunity to students in activities that they may use as lifelong physical activeness and in turn lead a healthier lifestyle.

TO teach students skills that they may use in their adulthood.

TO make connections between biology, the environment and the student.

TO build relationships between students, school, environment and the community.

The students will participate in but not limited to: camping, touring pier 21 in Halifax – museum on immigration, back country camping, hiking, backpacking, suba diving, curling, ice fishing, golfing, travelling, outdoor overnight tipi camping, tenting, outdoor cooking, GPS courses, wilderness survival, rock climbing, bowling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing,

Students participate in class time to acquire certain knowledge and skills in order to participate in these activities. Some of this class time is cross curricular such as in biology, water safety, first aid, bear safety, iceberg education, whale studies etc.

The activities for the year vary on availability and time of year the class is offered.

Students with disabilities have opportunity to participate and excel. Academics are not the focus

I believe this model will work to evaluate this program because:

· it has the goal as a primary focus

· it includes all the necessary participants to gather information from and is not just test results number based

· according to the program description it allows for all the components to be imbedded within the evaluation

· This program evaluation will allow the opportunity to document the philosophy of all participants when collecting data which may help to shape future programming
