The annual outdoor education trip has been a tradition at Bexley Middle School for over 50 years. Outdoor education
gives students a chance to connect what they have been learning in the classroom with hands-on experiences. Through inquiry-based methods, students gather information, draw conclusions, and then evaluate their conclusions.

Students spend two days and one night at YMCA Camp Willson in Bellefontaine, OH. This is a “technology free” trip where students are given a chance to fully engage in the experience. A parent meeting held in advance of the trip fully explains the program.

Camp Director: Brooke Smith
2019 Trip Dates: October 3-4 

Each spring the eighth grade students take a trip to Washington D.C. as a culmination of what they have learned in Social Studies during the year. A typical trip includes visits to Arlington Cemetery, Gettysburg, Smithsonian Museums, and various memorials. Students who wish to attend must make themselves aware of the trip guidelines, which include academic, behavioral, attendance and medical components.
