What is it?

The Outdoor Intensive is a one week outdoor education, on-campus immersion program that travels to public and independent schools. The Intensive moves from campus to campus typically bringing four portable "outdoor education stations". These stations include elements such as a 25' high mobile climbing wall, a 30' portable pool for kayaking, mountain bikes and a portable mountain bike skills course, and an outdoor Leave No Trace classroom. Students will rotate through stations spending about an hour and a half at each. After school each day, a portion of the student body will be invited to bring their parents to the Intensive to participate with them. The Intensive exposes large numbers of kids to active outdoor pursuits and their benefits.
