Adventure Leadership
This is a high-energy program in which students are guided through a series of experiential learning processes. The overall goals are to: increase personal power and self esteem; shift dangerous peer pressure to positive peer support; and to cultivate respect, responsibility, self-confidence and caring in the school and classroom.

Challenge By Choice
One of the most powerful lessons learned involves the use of choice. Coaxing young people into doing a difficult task or element teaches them only that they can be talked into doing something that may feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, helping students see that they have the right and ability to choose their level of challenge, and how to assess what is and isn’t an appropriate level of challenge, teaches them how to make positive decisions for life. This is critical to a well-taught Adventure Program.
Educators know that curiosity, motivation, inspiration and adrenaline are powerful catalysts for learning to take place. Our activities embody all of these. By incorporating the Adventure Leadership Program into your existing Leadership or Character Initiatives, you will see a dramatic and positive difference in the students who participate fully in our program.
