Grit Adventures
Jump in. Have fun. Discover who you can be.
Grade Levels:
High School (Rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders)
Grit Adventures is designed for adolescents to build grit using a cultural platform. Students will leave their everyday surroundings and get out of their comfort zones. During their Grit Adventure, students learn to rely on themselves and develop positive relationships with others. Whether its hiking through the mountains and cooking their own meals over a camp fire, or being immersed in a foreign culture practicing another language, our students develop their self-reliance and confidence. All adventures also include an element of service, allowing students to experience the intrinsic rewards of giving back to others.
Program Goals & Expectations
– Students will engage in daily reflective exercises, tracking their experiences and personal growth throughout the trip
