Outdoor Adventures

The "adventure" format provides an immersive experience for grades 1-12. It is a progression that we typically design for an entire class, grade or school. We start with skill games and activities on the school grounds and/or a local park. The program culminates with a field trip to an outdoor space, such as a forest or island, for a team orienteering mission. We have worked with groups of up to 250 students.

Examples in Massachusetts:

Girls in Sports Day, Cambridge: More than 200 girls finding checkpoints on a map in Danehy Park
