outdoor and environmental education programs are based on experiential
learning and communication. Each four to eight day program operates
from a base-camp facility within one of Canada’s majestic provincial
parks. Activities and journal writing sessions are debriefed in small
groups. Each day safely guides students beyond their physical and
social comfort zones, introducing them to new cultural landscapes
and new concepts with a program to challenge the head, heart and hands.
