The goals and objectives of the Adventurers 1-Week Program is to; develop skills and become more comfortable in outdoor living. Develop and put into practice leadership and team building skills. Gain knowledge and skills in the environmental sciences and understand human connections to the environment.
Environmental education explores the science of ecosystems, plus relationships between people and their environment. We encourage participants to consider how their values and behaviors can influence and ultimately impact the world around them. Our curriculum and activities provide hands-on, memorable experiences that involve the whole person and address multiple learning styles.
The Adventurers 1 Week program was created for those participants with a high interest in developing their outdoor skills while researching and gaining knowledge of the ecosystem. Participants will be making birch bark baskets, researching Wolf Lake, exploring wildlife and how to manage their habitat, rock climbing, developing team building and leadership skills and challenging themselves on the adventure ropes course. The highlight will be learning navigation skills by using a map, compass and GPS to read the land in-preparation for a 2 day backpacking trip on the Superior Hiking Trail.
