outdoor education leadership

This fall Northern Discovery Academy is introducing our OLEE which is a one-year course, that meets on Thursdays from 11:30 to 3:00. This course is intended to provide students with real outdoor experiences such as kayaking, canoeing, hiking, fishing and conservation practices. While adventuring, our students will be learning entrepreneurial skills, leadership skills, outdoor experiences and conservation practices.

Who is this for: This adventuring track is for fully enrolled 7th-12th grade NDA students as well as Homeschool students attending in a hybrid format. 

When does it meet: The program runs from September to May, on Thursdays during the elective portion of the regular school day, from 11:30-3:00.

What does it involve: During the best weather of the year we will focus on outdoor adventures and an emphasis on business  and leadership. During the coldest time of the year we will focus on conservation, research and classroom education.

What does it cost: The tuition cost for fully enrolled students is an additional $899.  For homeschool families the cost will be $1199. Some consideration will be given to part-time enrollment. There will be an outdoor fee for equipment rental which has yet to be determined. We are still working on partnerships and purchasing our own equipment which should keep fees minimal.
