I'm wondering if anyone has a lead on research that outlines the
effectiveness of experiential or adventure programming with middle or high
school populations (including kids that are academically or behaviorially
challenged).
We are presently conducting a study with 54 students in the high school /
challenged category mentioned above and will be happy to share when we are
completed.
Thanks...Jeff
