"Hands-On" Experiential Learning at Aspen Achievement Academy
The academic program at Aspen Achievement Academy youth camp is designed to complement the therapeutic objectives of the program and promote positive learning experiences. The outdoor classroom provides a diverse physical setting that allows students to learn geology by studying rock strata and fossils, astronomy by looking into the clear night skies, and biology through study of local plants and animals. This "hands-on" experiential approach makes learning interesting and fun. It facilitates positive personal growth while enabling students to relate knowledge from books to real life experiences.
