Learning Outcomes

 

Y.E.S. is bigger than activities.

Adventuring with Y.E.S. encourages kids to think beyond themselves and consider the people and places around them as they learn and play outside. The following outcomes are why we believe these adventures are worthwhile, and we help participants notice and discuss them along the way.

 

Experience Wonder:

 

Outdoor exploration develops a strong foundation for spiritual growth by exposing us to the awe of creation and allowing space for introspection. We encourage observation and foster kids’ natural curiosity to help them encounter the incredible power and intricate beauty all around them.

Grow Relationships:

 

Real adventures are a fantastic catalyst to help kids build lasting friendships and bring families closer together. We open doors to share more quality time and make unforgettable stories.

Cultivate Character:

 

Engagement in challenging experiences provides a rich environment for developing character attributes like gratitude, joyfulness, and perseverance. Along the way we teach fundamentals like responsibility, decision-making, and activity-specific skills all while helping kids realize a lifelong opportunity for physical activity.

Steward Places:

 

We need wild spaces and they must be cared for to thrive. By training responsible users and joining forces with other local community organizations we maintain and improve the places where we love to play.

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring 
Will be to arrive where we started 
And know the place for the first time.”

- T.S. Elliot
