Here is more information about Avid4Adventure.  Our on-campus school program brings outdoor adventures to your school to enhance students’ confidence, develop their communication skills, and achieve your school’s educational objectives. Avid4 Adventure uses four portable “outdoor education stations” which include elements such as a 25′ high mobile climbing wall, a 30′ portable pool for kayaking or canoeing, mountain bikes and a portable mountain bike skills course, and an outdoor Leave No Trace classroom. Students will rotate through stations spending half their time in an outdoor activity and the other half in our “educational ground school” covering grade specific curriculum. This program exposes large numbers of kids to the benefits of active outdoor pursuits while complementing your school’s academic program. The Avid4 Adventure ground school curriculum is specifically designed to correspond to K-5 grade level state standards. We cover topics such as simple machines through bike gears and gear ratios, discuss the water cycle during paddle sports, and teach the history behind most of our sports—such as how kayaking originated with Native Americans in Alaska. Apart from academic content, the personal and interpersonal skills that our outdoor program brings out in students create great opportunity for discussion back in the classroom.
