Do things ever feel like their lost in translation with your students? We’ll work with them through challenges that will get them using verbal and non-verbal communication skills to work towards a common goal. We’ll encourage them to work together, discuss strategies, and process failures.
Everyone’s had a curveball thrown at them in life. Make sure your students are prepared for sudden changes by helping them solve problems that evolve throughout our challenges.
No one likes to fail or struggle, but sometimes to move forward we must learn from our mistakes. We’ll work with students to help them adapt and learn from failure to work their way to success in our challenges.

Once on site our educators will provide your group with a brief introduction. Each trip will have 3-5 activity stations. If needed, we’ll provide a lunch break from students to eat. Typically students will travel with their classroom teacher, but we may ask that groups break up differently depending on class sizes. Students will then rotate to each station where one of our educators will facilitate the activity, workshop, or demonstration. Once you’ve rotated through all the stations, we’ll say goodbye and you’ll head back home with new some memories.
At the latest you should plan to start discussing your trip with us at three weeks before you trip to give us plenty of time to iron out your trip plan and details.
$35 per student. Teachers are always free and we allow one free chaperone for every 10 children. Although our prices are set we’re willing to work within your budget and discounts are available for certain circumstances.
We’ll establish a rain date with you before you trip occurs. If the trip needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather, or other circumstances we’ll call you and plan for you to come on your rain date.
