New Heights – Adventures for Teens

Our mission is to unleash the individual and collective potential of today’s youth by offering experiential learning opportunities through: exploration of their culture, community, and natural environment; expression of their unique talents, ideas, and creativity; and engagement in science, technology, arts, and outdoor learning.

While potential looks different for everyone, everyone wants to reach it. But barriers abound. As early as the age of 10, kids begin to define themselves in limiting ways. They tell themselves they are good at math, or bad at it; that they can’t do sports, or can’t draw. Popular culture, peer pressure, and limited exposure to new things can “cement” this self-talk and keep kids stuck for a lifetime. Our programs are intentionally designed to break barriers and open minds, by developing engaging, fun, unexpected opportunities to try new things in new ways.
