Ascent
"Self Discovery In Nature"
Sandpoint, Idaho
Renel Hanson, Director of Admissions
(208) 267-3626
Ascent is the newest
addition to the CEDU family of services utilizing their holistic
approach to education - addressing the physical, emotional
and educational needs of young people. The 41-day expedition
uses the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest as an outdoor
classroom. Groups are usually eight students and three staff.
"Ascent's highly structured program provides the framework
for many confidence-building challenges. The course emphasizes
introspection, teamwork and safety. The beauty of the pristine
wilderness, devoid of distraction and conflict, serves as
the perfect frontier to explore one's self." Parents are strongly
encouraged to participate in the family workshop at the conclusion
of the trip. The wilderness program is administered by Stacy
Wasserman and Paul Clark.
