Land serves as classroom for learning

Little Buffalo school teacher Colin Mackay (left) and Kevin Lewis made sure everything was ready to go for dog sledding around Marten Lakes. High school students from Little Buffalo, Atikameg and Cadotte Lake schools stepped out of a classroom environment to experience land-based learning Feb. 17-20 at the Marten Lakes Wilderness Campus near Slave Lake. Nineteen students stayed in cabins to gather knowledge, develop relationships and build self-confidence. The winter camp was organized through the Kee Tas Kee Now Tribal Council and Northland School Division partnership agreement.
