SCIENCE ADVENTURE SCHOOL

At Science Adventure School, your child’s imagination will run wild.

The 4-day, 3-night program offered at the beginning of a student's 6th grade year combines adventures in the outdoors with hands-on STEM and environmental science learning.

With experiential education being a focus, SAS will get students out of their comfort zones, meet new friends, face new challenges, and find the scientist that lies within! This adventure-based, outdoor science school is dedicated to empowering and educating West Virginia’s youth, and takes place in multiple scenic locations throughout the state including the wonderful (and we mean wonder-full!) mountains of the New River Gorge area.
