SUMMER INSTITUTE IN ENVIRONMENTAl, EDUCATION
Since the Summer of 1971 Simon Fraser University has
offered a unique program dealing with the field of
Environmental Education. The program has presented a
group of credit courses in Environmental Education,
offered in an intensive, "TOTAL IMMERSION" format. The
program attempts to make teachers and others interested
in Environmental Education, aware of the scope of the
field and use of first hand experiences in areas includ-
ing wilderness and outdoor recreation pursuits, outdoor
education, field ecology, urban studies, and environ-
mental problems. The philosophy of the progtam is that
environmental education is an interdisciplinary field,
therefore, the program is team taught by persons
representing biology, outdoor recreation, urban and
regional geography, architecture, art, social studies,
and education.
The core of the program is two credit courses offered
by S.F.U. Faculty of Education. They are:
EDUCATION 452-4: Field Studies & Case Work in
Environmental Education
(4 Semester Hours)
rih1
EDUCATION 462-4: Environmental Education ?
(4 Semester Hours)
These courses must be taken concurrently, they are taught
as a fully integrated program:
Who is the Program designed for:
The program is designed mainly for teachers and student
teachers, but recreation workers, social workers, photo-
graphers, and others interested in environmental education
have taken it. Students do NOT need previous outdoor or
environmental experience. The program is designed for
persons of all ages, and for persons with interests and
specialities in science, social studies, humanities, art,
music, or physical education and recreation.

When & Where is the Program Offered?
In 1971, 1972, 1973, and 1974 the core courses, Education
452
and 462, were offered in Kamloops, British Columbia. The
program is an intense experience lasting 3- weeks.
?
In
1975
the program will be offered in Kamloops during July, from
July
3
to July 26 inclusive. Because of student demand in
197+ a second section of the core program only was
offered at the Strathcona Outdoor Education Center on
North/Central Vancouver Island.
?
It is expected that, in
addition to the Kamloops section, a second section of the
core program will be offered in a coastal location during
July or August of 1975.
Students who would prefer a coastal location should indicate
this on their application questionnaires. The offering of
a second section will depend upon demand and availability
of resources.
What About Other Programs in Environmental Education?
Because of requests from students for further course
offerings in the Kamloops Summer Institute, the University
offered a Continuing Program commencing in 1972. Since
then courses in Education, Biological Sciences, and
Geography have been offered in Kamloops at the same time
as the core program.
In the Summer of 1975 the Summer Institute will offer
general courses in Kamloops as a Continuing Program in
Environmental Education. They are expected to be:

NOTE:
Students may.-only register for any TWO of the above three
courses. Students are advised to enrol ONLY for GEOG 443-5

advised only to take ONE of the above three courses.
What About Accommodation and Costs for the Program?
Students who are not residents of Kamloops are provided
with dormitory accommodation in Kamloops.. (The same will
likely apply to a coastal version of the core Iprogram).
Students who live in residence plan their own meals in
groups, and prepare their own food, thus living costs are
approximately
$25.00
for accommodation (housing) plus
food costs based on your own choice and demand for food.
