BUILDING BETTER PEOPLE INSIDE FROM OUTSIDE
Learn in a natural, beautiful setting
We believe a student’s hands-on experience is the best teacher and our outdoor educational curriculum is designed to be a hands-on way to learn solid, educational topics. We also recognize that students are faced with a lot of hard challenges today and to help students deal with issues such as respect, trust, and responsibility, we’ve partnered with the Search Institute to help students acquire many of the developmental assets needed to grow up as healthy, caring, and responsible adults.
Our outdoor education program provides students an appreciation of the wonders of the environment through activities that promote teamwork and communications.
Far from the traditional classroom, this program ensures that students will have fun while participating in team-building exercises, singing, horseback riding, climbing, canoeing, or challenging themselves on the high ropes course.
For detailed information about our outdoor education, please refer to our Outdoor Education Information Document listed on the left-hand side of this page.
