EVIDENCED BY DEMAND, EDUCATORS HIGHLY VALUE OUR LINKS-UP MENTORING, CAREER EDUCATION, SELF-RELIANCE, AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUM.

BRIDGEWAY'S PROGRAMS IN SCHOOLS TEACH STUDENTS TO BE RESPONSIBLE, RESOURCEFUL AND RESPECTFUL; AND ALLOWS TEACHERS TO FOCUS ON TEACHING ACADEMICS.


OUTDOOR EDUCATION - THE VALUE OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IS AGELESS. WHETHER A TEACHER'S CLASS OF CHILDREN ON A FIELDTRIP; A LOCAL CONSERVANCY CLUB; A CHURCH YOUTH GROUP NEEDING A RETREAT; COMMUNITY LEADERS WANTING TO CONVENE AND PLAN: OUR COMMUNITIES ARE HUNGRY FOR AN OUTDOOR, 'OFF-THE-BEATEN-PATH' SPACE TO LEARN, GROW AND DO THEIR WORK. O.E. PROGRAMS PROVIDE EXPERTLY LED EXPERIENTIAL, OUTDOOR ADVENTURES FOR A BROAD SPECTRUM OF GROUPS. PLACES MATTER. AND OUTDOOR EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT THE HISTORICAL CAMP FLETCHER INTENTIONALLY & METHODICALLY DELIVER MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES WHICH TAKE ROOT AND CAUSE PERSONAL GROWTH.


CHILD CARE - OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME IS A CHALLENGE FOR FAMILIES. WORKING PARENTS NEED TO KNOW THEIR CHILDREN ARE SAFE, & ENGAGED IN ENRICHING ACTIVITIES UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF VETTED, TRAINED MENTORS. AT THE SAME TIME, CHILDREN & YOUTH WANT TO SOCIALIZE WITH THEIR PEERS, WHILE NEEDING PROGRAMS LED BY HEALTHY ROLE MODELS WHO WILL HELP THEM TO DISCOVER THEIR TRUE SELF, APPROPRIATELY DIRECT THEIR PASSIONS, & DEVELOP THEIR OWN INNATE STRENGTHS. DAY CAMP, WEEKEND & AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS PROVIDE ACADEMIC, CHARACTER & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT-INTENTIONALLY EMBEDDED IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.


RESIDENTIAL CAMP - OVER 5 DAYS & NIGHTS, RESIDENTIAL CAMP IS A HIGHLY FOCUSED EXPERIENCE IN INDEPENDENT LIVING.

IN SMALL "TRIBES", CAMPERS TAKE PART IN TRADITION OUTDOOR CAMP ACTIVITIES & LEARN TO PLAN, WORK, PLAY, AND FUNCTION AS PART OF A TEAM. LASTING FRIENDSHIPS ARE FORMED; TOLERANCE & KINDNESS ARE PRACTICED; SELF-AWARENESS IS INCREASED. RESIDENTIAL CAMPERS DEPART MORE CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING THEMSELVES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM.CLUB - SOME CHILDREN ARE WELL SUITED FOR, AND IN FACT NEED, A STRUCTURED, PROGRESSIVE, MERIT-BASED PROGRAM. CHILDREN IN THE CLUB PROGRAM WORK BOTH INDEPENDENTLY AND AS A TEAM TO ACHIEVE GOALS AND COMPLETE PROJECTS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THEIR COMMUNITY. THE PROGRAM BREEDS CITIZENSHIP AND FOSTERS MEMBERS' AWARENESS OF THEIR ROLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY NOT JUST IN THE FUTURE, BUT NOW.
