Adventure Education is an experiential-based learning process where students are encourage to take an active role in their education. The unit will focus on both group and individual initiatives. By emphasizing team building, problem solving, communication skills, and goal setting, we hope to help students develop self-esteem through group and individual accomplishment, enhance their social skills with others, increase their ability to problem solve, and develop leadership skills as well as fitness activities and assessments. These goals will be reached through activities such as wall climbing, ropes course, boating, camping, fishing, water activities, hiking, orienteering, etc.
