All of our programs in this 6 week session will be based around the environment and how people can live and recreate in it with minimal damage or no impact at all. Each year the classes will vary depending on the teachers.

With the environment a on every ones mind we feel that creating an environmental awareness among our students is key to having a more sustainable future.
