At Au Sable, the bulk of our residential programs occur during the winter session and consists entirely of Christian private schools with long relationships with Au Sable. &nbsp;Not only does this mean the schools that attend are able to participate in activities like skiing and broomball that our typical day programs do not, it also means that the window to incorporate conversation about Christian environmental stewardship in our programming swings wide open.</p>

	The primary goal of environmental education is to reconnect students with the natural world. Similarly, as Christians we place emphasis on reconnecting with Christ every day. During our Residential programs, we are able to directly address both of these relationships. We help our students realize that in learning about the natural world, we are learning about our relationship to the Creator, and having a good relationship with God means having a good relationship with God&#39;s creation.</p>
