Our Outdoor Education program is the heart of our
work with at-risk kids in Berkeley. We know from years
of experience that Outdoor/Wilderness Experiences make
a lasting difference in the lives of young people. Our
well-trained staff use the outdoors as a classroom and
teach our kids important life skills in a natural
setting, giving them lessons and experiences they will
never forget. (We also help build a generation of
young people who are educated about and concerned with
protecting our natural environment). Whether we are
whitewater rafting down the American River, Bicycling
from Berkeley to Coloma, Sea Kayaking to overnight
camp at Angel Island, backpacking at State Parks, or
rock climbing, our curriculum teaches life skills that
will help our kids become productive members of our
multi-ethnic society. With an 18 year track record of
safety and results, this program is the best in
Berkeley!
