Escuela Popular Accelerated Family Learning Center

The Natural Highs program combines wilderness experience, adventure, reflection, and counseling to connect underserved youth with the natural world, to rekindle motivation and curiosity, to demand accountability, and to encourage personal and academic growth. The program acknowledges a growing “nature deficit disorder” among youth that may be impacting their physical and mental well-being, and also realizes that many students learn better outside the classroom walls.
