Youth Station Guidelines for Use.

Overview & Synopsis

The Tennessee Valley Authority has established a Youth Station in the Land Between the Lakes area of Kentucky for the purpose of providing curricular activities in the out-of-doors. The facilities and associated curriculum patterns are designed primarily to accommodate a resident program of outdoor and environmental education experiences. To assist teachers and administrators in using the area and program, this handbook offers guidelines for developing an environmental education program and logistics for use of the Youth Station. Part One explains a resident environmental education program, indicating items related to program planning, pre-site and post-site activities. Part Two enumerates facilities, instructional aids, health and safety considerations, resident fees, and policies regarding staff and facilities. Appended material compiles a suggested clothing list, sample duty chart and daily schedule, sample programs, and a bibliography. (BL)
