die Grüne Welle High School Credit Program

Here’s an option for high school credit for those who want to get out into the woods and onto a lake or river, and learn about the environment, nature, and sustainability.

In Waldsee’s environment/nature credit die Grüne Welle program you’ll do projects just like the classic credit program, but with a focus in environmental science, conservation, energy, chemistry, or forestry. You’ll use your German to live and discover our beautiful natural surroundings. You’ll get to plan and go on a one-week canoe trip down the Mississippi and across the great Northern Minnesota landscape, camp and sleep in/outside of a tent, build a fire and cook over it, enjoy the sunsets as the loons call out in the distance, learn about plants and animals – all in German, naturally and with confidence.

You’ll also carry out experiments and learn about sustainable living in the Waldsee BioHaus, North America’s only certified passive house—a building designed to use 85% less energy than a comparable American building. It’s a low-energy building in a high-energy program with many unique features. The Waldsee BioHaus is part of all of our programs, but if you sign up for ourGrüne Welle high school credit session you’ll have an unbelievable immersion experience with environmental learning through German. Einfach Spitze!

die Grüne Welle high school credit program is offered during GB83 (link). You can also choose the “classic” credit program; the medieval theater der Märchenwald program; try German credit abroad, or consider our college credit program for high school students.

Here’s more information on getting credit.
