ADVENTUROUS JOURNEYS
LEARN, DISCOVER, SERVE
We have built a student leadership travel and experience program unlike anything else in the country.
All of our adventurous journeys are meant to deepen learning in the classroom as you explore who you are and what you are capable of becoming.
Your experiences will push you to work beyond your limitations in your personal leadership development;
expand your understanding of teamwork,
challenge your mind,
discover the complex world around you,
become an influencer of positive change,
do the impossible,
and go outside of your comfort zones.
