This summer, Santiam Crossing School is offering an option to parents who have a child requiring credit recovery. Instead of having adolescents sit in summer school, parents may choose to send them to Santiam Crossing's Adventure Summer School, which combines experimental academics, outdoor adventure activities, leadership, and personal development training.
Mother Nature has created the classroom for Santiam's Adventure Summer School. Students will be setting up camp in a variety of regions in Oregon including the coast, high desert, and the forests of the Cascade Mountains. Here they will be immersed in various outdoor adventure activities including surfing, climbing, and mountain biking. Academics as well as leadership and personal development trainings will be woven in with the adventure activities creating an experiential learning environment.
During the four-week program each student will complete the requirements for .5 credits in each of the following subjects: Reading and Writing, Oregon Ecosystems, Personal Health, and Physical Education. Santiam Crossing School is accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools and all credits are transferable.
The summer school program is designed for high school students looking for a challenging and exciting summer experience and the opportunity to obtain academic credit. The program is not appropriate for students with behavioral or drug and alcohol issues. Santiam Crossing School does offer alternative services for this population.
