STUDENT PROGRAMS

Students of all ages often report life-changing experiences as a result of their participation in Pathfinder programs. The challenging nature of our time-tested programs combined with the supportive, positive and hands-on context of the classes acts as a catalyst for personal growth, positive change and a deeper understanding of the importance of social responsibility.

Allow us to help you transform the members of YOUR learning community. You choose the location, length of stay, classes and outcomes for your students and we provide an outstanding outdoor education experience.

The following outcomes are often achieved in overnight programs, especially those lasting three days or more:

• Learners are stimulated to think critically and make healthy choices.
• Bonds of friendship, trust, and mutual respect are created and strengthened between students, and between teachers and students.
• Learners increase their awareness of Florida’s ecology, our relationship to the natural environment, and our role as stewards.
• Participants are better able to resolve conflicts and appreciate diversity because they are in a physically and emotionally safe setting.
• Learners are helped to become more independent, responsible, capable people.
• Opportunities for success are provided for all students in an ungraded setting.
• An attitude of inquiry is fostered and learners engender more positive feelings about learning.
• New skills for achieving success and satisfaction in group tasks are gained.
• Self-esteem is enhanced through activities designed to reveal one’s strengths and abilities.
