Experiential Learning Retreats and Day Programs
Nature is one of our greatest teachers. Current educational research indicates that connections with the natural world increase children’s ability to learn and also improve self-esteem and social behavior. If you are looking to take your class or student group on an outdoor adventure they will cherish forever, then we are the team you are looking for.
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.— John Muir
