5th grade idaho basecamps sahm 5th grade program, now in its seventh year, offers a three-day, two-night immersive outdoor experience for 5th-grade students from public schools in six idaho counties. Held at our big lost campus, the program is designed to help students develop a strong connection with the outdoors and learn valuable life skills to help improve their mental, physical, and social-emotional health. Our carefully crafted curriculum blends hands-on science inquiry, adventure based learning, and environmental stewardship. Students will learn how to communicate, trust, and feel safe with their peers. They develop a new sense of accomplishment as they work through fears and become more personally responsible for their actions.
