"Now that I have climbed the mountain, I feel as if I can do anything.
Even the birds sound amazed."

Becoming a Partner
Our partners are high quality educational and community service organizations looking to augment their existing curriculum with programs developed in conjunction with Great Outdoors Academy. These partnerships offer exciting expeditionary learning, along with expressive writing and the opportunity to publish in the Great Outdoors Academy Magazine. Our partners believe in the value of personal expression and the possibilities of the natural word as a learning environment.
Organizational partnerships address the varied needs of your organization. From ongoing weekly outings to fashioning an annual expedition, the possibilities are wide open.
