Students at South Tama High School are getting hands-on opportunities to explore the outdoors through a student Outdoor Club led by teacher Dan Lopez.
The club introduces students to a variety of outdoor activities and practical skills, including fishing, ice fishing, fly tying, outdoor cooking, trapping, wilderness survival and survival first aid.
Through these activities, students have the opportunity to learn new skills, gain confidence and develop a greater appreciation for the outdoors.
Lopez also works closely with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (Iowa DNR), incorporating a variety of the department’s educational programs and equipment into the club’s activities.
His partnership with the Iowa DNR helps provide students with hands-on learning experiences that extend beyond the traditional classroom.
The Outdoor Club gives students an opportunity to connect with nature, learn valuable outdoor skills and discover activities they can enjoy for years to come.
