Outdoor Workshops

One of the most valuable experiences at Schoodic is the chance to spend time in small groups with some of the School’s faculty as they lead an outdoor workshop. Professors that serve as advisors to students in the current incoming class each choose a topic that is near and dear to them and share this excitement through a hands-on workshop.

Whether it is catching and surveying a wide array of insects around the research center, using microscopes to inspect marine organisms along the craggy rocks of Schoodic point, meandering along the forest paths on a fungal foray, or seining for small fish in a nearby lake, there are many engaging workshops for students to choose from. More info about this year's options can be found on this year's page.

Students at other large universities usually do not have this opportunity until they get to know their professors in one of the smaller, upper-level courses as a junior or senior. At Schoodic, incoming students become familiar with many of the scientists that they will be learning from before the even walk into their first class.
