Specific activities for Jonsson Community School classes at the Salesmanship Club Youth Camp include:

The 3rd grade class plans to visit camp in the spring to explore examples of animals modifying the environment for shelter and homes (ie. beaver dams, bird nests, den sites, and beehives), plant and animal adaptations for survival and reproduction, and evidences of environmental changes (storm damage, soil erosion, plant succession, weathering, shifts in stream beds, etc.). They also intend to study the properties of various soils at camp.

The 4th grade class will be utilizing camp for an exploration of different ecosystems (pond, lake, forest, grassland), patterns of change in nature (metamorphosis, succession in plant and animal communities), comparing adaptive characteristics of various organisms, and a detailed examination of soil and water conservation. This class will also take advantage of the historical sites on camp property to search for artifacts at the Caddo Indian mound along Lake Fork Creek and at the four old homestead sites.

The 5th graders will also visit camp to compare life cycles of plants and animals, analyze adaptive characteristics of species that improve their ability to survive and reproduce, and observe actions that require time for measurable changes.

The 6th grade will travel to camp for more in-depth analysis of the relationship between groundwater and surface water in a watershed and illustrations of interactions between matter and energy in the water cycle and in the decay process.
