Pre Canada 28 Day Expedition

Hello, and welcome to the first ECOEE 2016 Blog!


The Environmental, Conservation and Outdoor Education Expedition (ECOEE) program is a semester-long field studies program offered through the Department of Recreation, Park and tourism Administration at Western Illinois University. Developed in 1976, the ECOEE program supports professional preparation in outdoor leadership through experiential education. While prerequisite planning courses take place in the spring semester, the actual field studies expedition occurs during the fall semester. The field studies experience focuses on principles of outdoor leadership and teaching, wilderness travel and minimum impact camping skills, outdoor adventure recreation, and environmental education and interpretation.

We leave for our 28 Day outdoor expedition to Canada on the 17th of August and will not return until the 23rd of September. Since we will not have access to internet, stay tuned till we get back for our next post!
