We will spend all 3 weeks of our in-country program time, on the island of St. Lucia, located in the Windward Islands of the Caribbean.
Students will be given various leadership opportunities throughout the program, including acting as a “leader of the day,” on assigned days, to facilitate morning metaphysical foundation and group preparation, support activity logistics, and plan and/or facilitate program debriefing and reflection.
Students can expect to be on a half-day or full-day guided excursion most days. Depending on the length of the day’s activities, the afternoon or evening will be our opportunity to have class sessions. Class sessions will be experiential in nature and will include content from our Outdoor Leadership textbook, cultural learning, student-led activities, debriefing, reflection, and planning & preparing for the next day. We’ll also explore the local culture and environment, and have daily, focused reflection-writing in our journals.
Each day will require a sense of adventure and flexibility as we embark on our scheduled activities.
