Jeff,

Just quickly - I can certainly help you out by providing details of my own 
research studies and pointing you in the direction of other projects along 
these lines.  I have an overview conference paper called "Outdoor Education 
in the Schools: What Can It Achieve?" which reviews research on school 
program effectiveness.  In addition, there are several papers from my 
honours thesis which was a large study evaluating the effects of Outward 
Bound Australia 9 day programs on self-concept, mental health and coping 
strategies of adolescents, with a control group.  I have further data using 
the Life Effectiveness Questionnaire with school-aged students on several 
programs.  A good starting point though, would be the overview paper and 
this may well point you in other useful directions.  Another useful general 
reference would be the Hattie, et al (1997) meta-analysis which breaks down 
outcomes by age group and at risk categories.

Cheers,
james

PS There are far fewer studies on at risk students.  An interesting one 
with very large academic and self-concept effects is by Marsh and Richards 
on a 6week outdoor/academic bridging program - mid 1980's.
