An Introduction to Educo
Educo Canada is a charitable organization that uses wilderness adventures, community-based projects and international journeys, to provide transformational learning experiences for youth that allow them to connect with nature, envision their possibilities, embrace their unique talents and abilities and foster healthy, lifelong connections to nature and all living systems.
Why are we different?
Through our Educo Adventure School, we focus on using the outdoors as a classroom to develop the skills and strengths that enable young people to create and participate in sustainable healthy communities. Though Educo students also learn "hard skills" such as outdoor survival etc., our programs are focussed primarily on drawing out the essential aspects of group communication, self development and interpersonal awareness.
We also run community leadership programs, international programs, and provide professional retreats, teambuilding programs and consulting services for groups and organizations.
Educo has been providing unique and powerful programs for the past 43 years. We engage youth from many backgrounds and we include local custom in all of our courses. Educo Adventure School is located on 160 acres in the South Cariboo region of B.C., Canada and our programs are run from our site and from various mountains and river systems around BC.Educo is also the only non-profit organization in BC that specializes in providing youth aged 9-19 with the opportunity to access pristine wilderness and we operate the only facility in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region with a certified high ropes course and full-sized rock climbing wall.
We are a charitable, financially sustainable and non-religious organization and we have affiliate Educo organizations in South Africa, the USA, Germany and Bulgaria. "Educo School" is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency: BN: 118894518RR0001.
