You Learned WHAT In the Wilderness?-Dr. Andrew Sapp

Novitas Academy in Idaho is a Therapeutic Boarding School with 2 to 3 Adventure Trips each year as cornerstones of their curriculum explained Dr. Andrew Sapp Ph.D, founder and head of Novitas Academy, to Lon June 22, 2016.  As we talked, a group of their students were kayaking around the San Juan Islands in NW Washington in their current Wilderness Adventure.  Sapp added that not only do they have fun and experience nature, get exercise and fresh air in their week long nature experience, but also learn important life skills like persistence, working cooperatively in a group and self-respect.  Listen to Sapp conclude with how it works so these students who had been having problems with school previously, can more effectively learn math, archology, climate science, about how eco-systems work, anthropology and literature in a hands-on completion of those units.
