Where Are YOU Going?

What are your goals? Specially designed Pathfinder programs can help you find a way to meet them. Choose courses that fit your objectives, then step back and watch as participants grow in ways that aren’t possible in the classroom, at home, or in the community. This is an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime!

Due to the challenging nature and content of our programs, we emphasize that Pathfinder is an educational program, not a recreational one.

With over 40 courses from which to choose, this category list will help you select courses that support your program goals. To find out more about a specific course refer to the alphabetical course listing Full Descriptions.

** Available as evening program; however, some are also available during the day. Please check the description for more information.
