Teen Wilderness Adventure
We know that Teens need the freedom to test their limits and explore their sense of self. In our Teens Wilderness Adventure Program, we mix active instruction with experiential learning to inspire teens to challenge themselves with new wilderness skills. By unplugging and learning to live with the land, teens build resilience, confidence and leadership.
*Returning for the 2023/24 school year, we’ll be adventuring outside the city for full weekends, including, camping, transportation and food.
