The Seaman School District (USD 345 / Topeka, Kansas) offers a very unique course each summer. Students involved in this course spend two weeks learning about the ecology of Colorado by visiting several diverse areas located in Colorado.

The images on this page were taken during the 2002 field trip. They only include images from a few of the many study areas.

NOTE: Some of the photographs below are links to other related websites. Just click on the photos to discover the ones that are links.

Every student and every adult made it to the

top of the highest sand dune during the 2002 adventure.

It took a lot of encourgement from students,

but even Mr. Miller made it to the top!

A raft ride down the Arkansas River can be

quite an experience!

Note: The photos above were taken during the first four days of Colorado Field Ecology. Check with one of the instructors from either Logan or Northern Hills to find out about what takes place during the rest of the two week adventure.

NORTHERN HILLS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL became the new SEAMAN MIDDLE SCHOOL at the end of the 2007-08 school year.  The photos and information at this website and related links are now history.  Also, Mr. Miller retired from the Seaman District at the end of the school year.  His old USD email address is no longer valid.  He can now be contacted at wakarusa@mac.com.
