Waypoint
Education

Our education program is a series of fully accessible, goal focused programs that are custom designed for special education classrooms

These programs use engaging, experiential strategies and adventure to provide opportunities for positive social and character development. Set up a single program “field trip” or utilize our experienced team for long-term curriculum enhancement through a program series.

“I have a class of very active, distractible, rambunctious, and self-conscious students, and I saw them all flourish! They encouraged each other, challenged themselves, and accomplished more than they thought possible.”

—Public School Teacher

“When I met with Waypoint, we talked about building confidence and encouraging students to take risks. A lot of them become comfortable in this nice little classroom, and we wanted to challenge them to push themselves.”

Waypoint staff collaborate with teachers and school administrators to identify social and character goals that align with school and classroom initiatives

Past program series have focused on topics such as self-determination, teamwork, perseverance, and problem solving. Following these collaborative meetings, Waypoint staff create customized lesson plans and/or units that include both classroom-based team building sessions and off-site adventures tailored to the identified goals and needs of each student.

All Waypoint Education programs use various social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies and the latest research based experiential education strategies as a guide for planning these lessons and curriculum.

“The difference in a Waypoint Adventure program versus just spending time outside is the intentionality and custom-tailored curriculum found in each program. Dan and Adam don’t just take people outside. They plan ahead, strategize, and ensure that each goal discussed with the group/leader beforehand is met by the end of the program.”
