Grüne Welle Credit

gruenewellecreditGrüne Welle High School Credit

In Waldsee’s environment/nature high school 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.

You’ll also carry out experiments and learn about sustainable living in the Waldsee BioHaus, North America’s first 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.
