Over 20 people, including teachers, administrators, families and Catamount Institute staff, had their inaugural meeting of the Catamount Club at Manitou Springs Elementary School last Thursday. Eric Cefus, the Executive Director of the Catamount Institute, spoke about the book "Last Child in the Woods" by Richard Louv, and problems that modern day kids have as a result of too little connection to nature. There is a thought that the rise of many learning and health problems of this generation can be attributed to "nature deficit disorder".
Please watch for the next meeting date in January 2008. Catamount Club hopes to bring together members of the community to discuss and take action on environmental and educational issues. We will have speakers and take on community action projects. Our mission is "Catamount Club is a multi-generational club which comes together to invite our community to share ideas about Environmental Stewardship". For more information please contact Kelly Snyder@ kotadog@usa.net.
