Purpose & Values

Our purpose is to prepare students for a lifelong path to good health.

Through community partnerships, My PATH: Outdoor Pursuits provides purposeful programming designed to promote acceptance of oneself and others, build a better sense of community, foster healthy relationships with peers and adults, encourage healthy behaviours and develop essential life skills.

We further holistic learning by co-creating opportunities with the community for youth to learn and serve in the areas of physical literacy development, outdoor recreational and adventure activities, environmental and agricultural education, land-based learning, community leadership, health and life skills, and outdoor education/survival skills, resulting in stronger citizen education and more resilient life-long learners.
