About Outdoor LeadershipHTe’s Outdoor Leadership exploratory program is a unique opportunity for students and staff to work together to accomplish goals and find potential resolutions for real world challenges. Kindergarten-5th grade teachers and an exploratory specialist collaborate to ensure children have the opportunity to explore the natural world in a way they would not typically receive in a general education setting.
Through past projects students have been exposed to swimming, surfing, stand-up paddling, kayaking, hiking, camping and rock climbing in our local State, National, and Regional parks and beaches. |
