Education is a lifelong pursuit

Experiential Education

Winding Trails is a uniquely placed resource for experiential learning in the great outdoors. Experiential learning takes place when a person is involved in an activity or experience, then given time and reinforcement to reflect on its’ meaning and relevance to life. Winding Trails works to create an appropriate setting for students to learn and provides guidance to make their interactions with the environment positive and meaningful.

Core Principals:

• Learning from the environment is an active process rather than passive

• The flexibility to; question, ponder, research, inquire, understand, explain, exhibit, dream, filter, internalize, and grow
