Adventure Experience Aides

Evaluation Policies

Adventure Experience 1 is a Physical Education elective course that incorporates interpersonal skills as well as physical skills. Trust, Integrity, Communication, and Teamwork are addressed as students practice group initiatives, trust activities, knot tying, belay school, and climbing. The 5 C’s are emphasized: Communication, Cooperation, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Caring. We utilize the indoor climbing facilities (upper gym) and the outdoor challenge course (behind Cresthill Middle School).
