ABOUT MOUNTAIN WORKSHOP

Mountain Workshop was founded in 1979 to develop and facilitate experiential learning and outdoor education programs that act as catalysts for personal growth and increased resilience, to help students manage change, to illuminate the value of diversity, and increase student engagement and establish a framework for developing and maintaining a positive school climate throughout the academic year.

Our experiential learning model provides a platform for shared experiences that not only demonstrate the value of individuality and teamwork, but also act as a catalyst for conversation that helps relate each experience back to everyday life and it’s challenges inside and outside of school. Activities are designed based on a basic three-step approach; instruction, activation and debrief discussions. The program gives teachers and administrators the opportunity to observe individual characteristics, group dynamics, and identify social behaviors both positive and negative.  We encourage teachers to take part in the activities with the students as a continuation on building quality relationships and improving school culture
