Our Purpose
"Connect with kids from different backgrounds . . .Learn the importance of your differences, the depth of your similarities..."
The purpose of Educo Adventure School is to inspire young people for life through transformative wilderness experiences. These expriences enable youth to connect with self, envision their possibilities, embrace their unique talents and abilities, and foster a lifelong connection to nature and community.
Our Approach
Step out of your comfort zone to see beyond preconceived limitations.
All Educo courses are dedicated to the development and support of young people to draw forth their full and unique potential. The school provides unparalleled opportunities for participants to examine their beliefs about themselves, other people and the world around them. Students are encouraged and assisted to challenge themselves and to support each other, to develop a respect for the environment and the natural world, to express themselves fully and creatively, to participate in the adventures of life and to accept opportunities to learn and grow in each moment. These skills greatly enhance their confidence in themselves and desire to make a difference to their families, peers, schools, communities and the world at large.
Educo Adventure School brings out the best in people!
