These hands-on experiences foster independence, teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. Whether they are navigating a trail, performing with peers, or patiently casting a line, students are learning perseverance, collaboration, and the value of engaging with the world beyond the classroom walls. We’re excited to support them in this meaningful learning journey!
