Our Outdoor Adventure trail was
designed with school field trips in mind.
We take math, science, language arts, physical fitness, technology, the arts and mold them all into a true Experiential Learning experience.
This curriculum based activity is adjustable for all grade levels.

Use of the Outdoor Adventure Trail
The Outdoor Adventure Trail
A beautiful wooded trail serves as the path that students follow.
Students walk the trail in sub groups as they follow a
custom adventure map between 14 check
points.
We can have between 100 and 150 students in different
groupings on the trail at once.
Degrees of difficulty can be established depending on the average age of the
student.
Take a smart phone or I Pad and bring it to life following Q R Codes that
guide students through maps and custom web pages.
All of the check points are GPS coded and other hot spots are coded for a GEO
Caching Experience unlike any you have ever seen.
The check points are set up as photo ops for the students to do a proof of build
with a camera phone or digital camera.
Each trail map is developed just for your school enabling us to drive curriculum
specific content to the trail and the boxes they open.
Students uncover clues along our trail
Work with themes they study at school
14 designated photo points of the progress they are having
Collaborate and problem solve together in sub groups

Geo Caching or tracking longitude and latitude with free phone apps..
Become part of a very special Adventure Poster that we print just for your school. Additionally we interview the class and they vote 4 key words onto the poster based on the learning experience they had. This collaboration puts the students on staff as part of the art team. Next we print the poster at no additional cost at 18 x 26 and you hang it on the school walls for all to see.
Every event is planned and coordinated just for your school field trip. It's your time with us and nobody else will be in your class but your grade level and our trained facilitators. Wingate University supplies the best college students who work side by side with Michael and Diana Valentine as facilitators. When college students spend time in this manner with lower grade levels it inspires higher education!
Parents tell us they love the fact that no public walk ups are permitted at our facility. They know at all times who is hanging out with the students. The poster can be sent back to the parents in a jpg format at no additional cost.
Some of our schools come over multiple days because they recognize the value of less at a time.
