Learning through experience within an outdoor community provides an opportunity for the next generation to figure out who they are, separate and apart from the noise. Within an intentional, safe environment, even the most alienated kids can develop social, emotional, and communication skills that will amplify their connectedness, and independence. When kids recognize that they can do hard things, provide value to the group, and rely on others, the course of their life can change.
Written for educators, parents, and leaders, No Child Left Inside: Transforming the Next Generation Through Experiential Learning will show you how to create experiences for kids so they can drill skills and safely explore personal strengths, as well as limitations. By providing a space where kids can celebrate and transcend their differences, you can help them learn how to communicate honestly, deeply connect with those around them, and foster empathy, commitment, and accountability within the community. When you facilitate activities that prove to kids that they're capable of great things and figuring out a challenge as a team, you help instill within them greater confidence and agency.
