USA - The idea is to put these kids in an environment where they're constantly going and everything is constantly new. They travel from the Cascades of Washington into Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. Camping every night, running up and down mountain trails, hiking, mountain biking, breaking during these adventures to read short pieces on a variety of subject from quantum physics to Native American spirituality to the powers of negotiation. Aim is to re-ignite their strong powers of curiosity and creativity. Initially two, one-month programs during the summer.
