Why take a trip outside of the classroom?

While at Summit Outdoor Education Centre, your students will learn by doing. They will be challenged in a different way than they are in class. They will be asked to look deep within themselves and set aside preconceived notions of their abilities. The result of a trip to Summit Outdoor Education Centre will be truly memorable for the individual and the group. Build a cohesive class. Unite the kids who wouldn't otherwise mix. Create a memory your students will hold onto for years to come.

"Tell me; and I will forget, show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand.”

At Summit Outdoor Education Centre our goal is to make planning your school group outing as easy and time efficient as possible. We do this by providing you with all of the following services and details:

• Parent information evenings/ power point slide presentations
• Curriculum based programming, based on your school's specific goals and needs
• Delicious and nutritious meals that meet everyone's dietary requirements
• All the forms you will need to send home to parents

We look forward to hearing from you. We will do everything we can to make this as simple as possible for you from a paper work and planning standpoint. Even if you have never tackled a trip of this magnitude, Rest easy! We will make it more than manageable.

"Every child has inside them an aching void for excitement and if we don't fill it with something which is exciting and interesting and good for them, they will fill it with something which is exciting and interesting and not good for them"
Franklin Roosevelt
