Advocacy
Our camps and after school programs are focused firstly on connection – connection to nature, connection to others, and connection to self. While students will learn outdoor recreation and outdoor education skills, that is a byproduct of our systems rather than the focal point of our sessions.
We believe that the power of the outdoors has deeper potential to help our youth gain independence, leadership, and other life-long-learning skills with hands on learning in the outdoors.
