Plan A Camping Trip *Printable & Digital* PBL

A printable fun filled multidisciplinary project that will challenge students through real-life experiences. Have you ever been on a camping trip? You don't just wing it and go, do you? No, you spend countless hours planning, researching, packing, and setting up activities with a set budget you must adhere too. With this project students will get a first hand experience planning a camping trip, just like we do in real life. Use this as an early finisher project or to review math concepts. You can customize this for your students and take out the levels you don't deem appropriate. A check list of rules and expectations will help keep students on track. Each level needs to be approved by a teacher in order to move on. This will help mitigate the need for major revisions later. Have fun exploring the great outdoors!
