Additional Program Information

Each expedition is 3 days and 2 nights and will be hosted at ISB’s Environmental Wilderness Campus (EWC). Each expedition is unique in the scenario-based challenges that it poses to students, challenging them to solve problems and to step out of their comfort zone in an atmosphere of safety and cooperation. Students reflect on their experiences and the learning that took place, and are challenged to transfer this learning to other parts of their life both now and for the future, identifying how each experience will serve them when faced with difficult or challenging situations.
