ALPINE’S OUT-OF-CLASSROOM
EXPERIENCE
A
lpine’s Outdoor Adventure (OA)
Program serves schools
by providing an out-of-classroom
experience, complete with
costumed living historians, a brilliant
combination of local history and
science, and loads of hand’s-on
activities and group initiatives all
in the context of encountering a
loving Creator.
During our fall 2016 and spring
2017 OA season we served over
1,200 students from 32 schools.
If you know of a private, charter
or public school that might be
interested, please send them our
way! This program is too good to
keep under
wraps! One
teacher from
Apple Valley
Christian
school
stated,
“This camp
is run with
excellence
and
honesty,
which
made our
experiences go
beyond our expectations.” A student
from Temple Christian School said,
“I liked the campfire circle because
everyone was full of life and we
got to have s’mores. I liked the
ziplining cause we got to go through
the forest.” Another student from
Antelope Valley said, “We worked as
a team. Everyone was helping each
other. The course was fun.
We did not give up!”
