Outdoor Learning Experiences
Character, learning, and integrity are the bedrock of your student’s future, and at JA, we partner with you inside and outside the classroom to cultivate good life principles.
JA’s SOAR Outdoor Program began as a seventh-grade rafting trip more than 50 years ago. The traditional adventure has expanded into programs in all grades that encourage the development of ethics, faith, service, outdoor knowledge, and leadership. SOAR’s opportunities help students grow through experiential, outdoor learning on JA’s 38-acre campus. SOAR continues to offer travel opportunities and off-campus adventures that vary by grade.
A Committed Community
The SOAR Outdoor Program staff includes volunteers made up of counselors, teachers, staff, outdoor experts, and parents who help mentor students outside the classroom. Students participate in outdoor activities both on and off campus that develop their teamwork, outdoor education, and leadership skills.
Experiential Opportunities
We encourage every student to be involved with SOAR Outdoor programs. Some programs have a minimal cost to cover expenses; however, they are very affordable.
