8月份見識之旅活動，於2019年8月31日由呂明澐小姐帶領22位祐生見習生及其家長們，進行三峽有木走溪體驗暨木工手作工藝之旅。出發當日天氣晴朗，見習生們及其家長皆準時集合並出發。活動開始之初，領隊呂明澐小姐提醒本次活動注意事項及觀察重點，先行建立見習生的背景知識。
　　For the study tour of August 31, 2019, Ms. Lu Ming-yun led 22 ARF interns and their parents to Sanxia to experience river tracing and wood crafting. It was clear and sunny on the day of the tour, and the interns and their parents were on time for the departure. At the start of the day's activities, team leader Ms. Lu Ming-yun reminded everyone about things to note and what to observe, and gave the interns some background knowledge.

　　本次行程以有木國小為主軸。上午進行溯溪體驗，活動之初，教練先行解說安全注意事項及溯溪裝備著裝要領。著裝完畢後，步行前往本次溯溪地點「中坑溪」，該溪屬大豹溪上游三條支流之一，鄰近滿月圓國家森林遊樂區，周邊生態保留完整，低海拔植物與水生昆蟲非常豐富，河床落差不大，為初級路線，適合一般大眾體驗。教練提醒眾人，於活動前應注意自身狀態是否適合下水，再者，水中行進時，每人適應環境速度不一而不宜追趕，按照自己的步伐穩穩前進即可，最後，由於溯溪為逆流而上之運動，需要眾人齊心協力才能抵達終點，故應互相幫助、順手拉夥伴一把。暖身操結束後，眾人緩緩走入水中，先以溪水洗臉、潑水等漸進方式來適應水溫，隨即開始溯溪體驗。過程中，眾人藉由漂漂河、多人牽手圍圈齊躺於水面上與跳水等活動，學習信任身旁夥伴及勇於挑戰的精神，跨越緊張順利完成眼前挑戰後，見習生們皆顯得成就感十足。
　　Centering on Youmu Elementary School, the study tour began with river tracing in the morning. After listening to the safety precautions and key points when gearing up for river tracing, everyone walked to Zhongkeng River, which is one of the three tributaries upstream of Dabao River. Located near Manyueyuan National Forest Recreation Area, the surrounding ecological environment is fully preserved with rich diversity of low-altitude plants and aquatic insects. With relatively even elevation, the route is for beginners and suitable for the general public. The coach reminded all to make sure that everyone was in the right condition to go into the water. Furthermore, when moving in the water, everyone should move at his/her own pace steadily and avoid trying to catch up with those who were faster. As river tracing involves moving against the current, everyone must work together to reach the destination and give each other a hand whenever necessary. After some warm-up exercise, everyone slowly entered the river, and began the river tracing experience after the initial adjustment to the water temperature by washing face and splashing water. During the tracing process, everyone learned to trust their partners and take up challenges through activities, such as flowing along with the current, river jumping and floating while holding hands with others in a circle. The interns appeared to feel accomplished after having successfully completed their challenges.

　　中午飯後，由有木國小教學組長吳慶義老師，透過投影片介紹該校攀岩活動、溯溪體驗、高空探索及校內露營夜觀螢火蟲等特色課程，以生態探索深植知識為宗旨，培養學生不同於書本上的學習方式，藉由身體力行訓練膽識與面對問題的解決能力，發展人際互動及協力合作，並從中獲取成就感。
　　After lunch, Mr. Wu Ching-yi, head of the teaching division of Youmu Elementary School, introduced the school's special courses through projection slides, including rock climbing, river tracing, ropes course and firefly observation at night during school camps. With the objective of deepening knowledge through ecological discovery, the school aims to nurture students differently from the traditional way of learning from books. Students are trained to build courage and the ability to solve problems, develop interpersonal relationships and cooperation with others, and achieve the sense of accomplishment.

　　隨後進行木工DIY，製做木柄湯匙及叉子。三峽有木里曾是全國品質最好的肖楠木產地，隨著時代變遷，鮮有人知道這樣風光的歷史，為此，有木國小開設木工相關課程，讓民眾了解更多在地特色。DIY課程之初，先挑選自己中意的木頭握柄樣式，接著以磨砂紙將表面磨滑，並把不鏽鋼餐具旋入握柄中，再以細牙籤填滿插槽間的縫隙並塗上白膠及亮光漆，即完成獨一無二的作品。至此，本日活動已近尾聲，大家一起合照留念後搭車返程，並期待於下次見識之旅再相見。
　　During the DIY wood crafting session, the interns learned to make wooden spoons and forks. Youmu village used to be where the nation's best quality Taiwan incense cedar was found but few people know about this part of their history now. Thus, Youmu Elementary School has started a series of wood crafting courses to allow people to learn more about the local characteristics. The DIY session began with the interns choosing the style of wooden handle they liked. The interns then used sand paper to polish its surface and rotate the stainless steel utensil into the handle, and complete their unique work by filling the gap in the slot with thin toothpicks and painting over with white glue and varnish. At this point, the day's itinerary came to an end. Everyone took a group photo before heading back and looked forward to the next study tour.
