We, the “Explore the Wilderness” organization, believe in the holistic
educational development of the child. We believe that the accumulation of
adventurous experiences can help developed an active approach to education in
particular and to life in general. Students learn how to overcome what may seem
to be insurmountable obstacles, surmountable. They marvel at their own ingenuity
for survival and they gain self-confidence after each experience.
