Upcoming Tours and Trips
Florida Keys and Everglades - March 2012
Every other year during Spring Break a small group of students have the fun and adventure of going to the Florida Keys and Everglades. Daily touring experience will include lectures, field observations, web-site development, photo documentation, field notes, and collaborative research. Students will enjoy hands-on ecology and natural history on land and in the water through activities such as canoeing and snorkeling. Come to Andrews and find out how you, too, can be a part of trips such as this one.

Ornithology - May 2012
Every other year the Ornithology class goes on a 10-day Field Trip around Lake Michigan. They explore wildlife refuges in Michigan, as well as Michigan's SDA Camp AuSable looking for feathered friends on the wing. They also visit Point Pelee National Park in Canada.
This is a super fun way to get credits for Biology, study birds and get acquainted with other students, as well as see the Michigan coast and some of Canada, too. But bring a warm coat because in April around the Great Lakes it can be pretty chilly. See the photo of the group by the Whitefish Point sign.
FB-Chicago - April 2012
Every year the Foundations of Biology Class (FB) goes on an overnight trip in April to Chicago's Field Museum, Indiana Dunes State Park, and Mud Lake Bog. They stay in a motel in Chesterton, Indiana near the Dunes. That night they enjoy pizza while studying about what they have seen the first day and will see the next day. It's a fun way to learn new things, see things they have been studying about all year and get better acquainted with the students they have been with all year in one of the Department of Biology's largest classes. FB sets the stage for what you will learn as you go through 4 years of Biology with us. It really is the foundation for what is to come.
