Young Shedders
How do I take responsibility for my learning and navigate new challenges?
In the Young Shedders program, children take greater ownership of their learning. Each Young Shedder receives an Adventure Journal for the week, filled with daily prompts, packing lists, and key information. They collaborate with peers, exploring new locations and varied terrains. This program encourages independence, teamwork, and personal growth as they navigate these exciting environments.
