Jumping for joy in the North Cascades

“My son didn’t just have a “great time,” he came back with a better understanding of himself, a greater appreciation for the beauty and the challenge of the outdoors, and the experiential learning he took part in reminded him that there is nothing as powerful as building human connections and coming to know, rely on, and appreciate new people. And he had fun! Thank you!”
