• Learn and apply healthy habits related to food, fitness, technology, and time management

• Practice adaptive first aid and CPR

• Gain tools for working through their challenge zones

• Receive mentorship and support through each stage of growth

Join Expedition Academy and take part in a transformative journey where you'll develop the confidence, habits, and skills to thrive—in the backcountry and beyond.

What a Day at Expedition Academy Looks Like:

We begin our day at the Gladstone 24 Hour Fitness with group workouts, followed by showers and getting ready for the day. From there, we head to lunch, where we practice trying new foods, placing orders, and work on fitness planning and goal setting. After lunch, we head to the local library for guided lessons and activities focused on that week’s topic.

Winter Term 2026: 

In the Winter Term, we’ll focus on skill development to keep ourselves, our homes, and our minds safe and prepared for challenges. Students will:

• Learn about their bodies and how to keep them safe in emergencies

• Practice mental strategies and build “toolboxes” for navigating challenge zones

• Develop emergency response plans for home safety

• Explore online safety and responsible technology use

• Take an adaptive First Aid and CPR Class and gain experience, knowledge, and certifications.  (ADAPTIVE FIRST AID AND CPR IS INCLUDED IN EXPEDITION ACADEMY REGISTRATION)

• Build independence and confidence in everyday life skills

Join us this winter to grow your skills, increase your confidence, and prepare for challenges—both outdoors and at home.

Mon. 3/16 & 3/30, 10-4 PM

This hands-on, inclusive course is designed for neurodivergent students or those needing adaptive supports and offers a supportive environment where everyone can learn at their own pace. Participants will build practical First Aid and CPR skills that can be used in everyday life — from responding to minor injuries at home to knowing what to do in an emergency at work or in the community.

Students will leave this course with official certification and the confidence to act quickly and safely when it matters most. Learning these skills not only promotes personal safety but also strengthens independence and employability — especially for roles in recreation, childcare, community programs, and other settings where basic medical knowledge is valued.

This empowering class focuses on preparedness, calm decision-making, and creating personalized emergency plans for home and community safety.

Course Includes:

• Certified First Aid & CPR instruction

• Official certification upon completion

• Hands-on, experience-based learning

• Adapted curriculum for neurodivergent learners

• Personalized home and community safety planning

Class Location: Oregon City or Canby. Specific location TBD.
