Talent Search Outdoor Classroom for 7th and 8th grades. Themes like cooperation, communication, concentration and effort are useful both on the challenge course and in the classroom. The Talent Search Adventure Trek takes off during the summer months. Students from 7th through 12th grades spend a week in the wild back country beyond the road head. Adventure Trek programs focus on distributive leadership theory and on developing sound decision making and conflict resolution skills.
Students return to their schools empowered to be positive influencers and more effective leaders.

Unfortunately, they often turn to less healthy forms of stimulation. Adventure doesn't have to be reckless, but, it does have to provide excitement and challenge.
