Expedition Academy is a comprehensive, year-long program created by Adventure Ready NW for qualified students who are ready to grow in independence—both in the outdoors and in everyday life. With seasonal terms and breaks built in, this immersive curriculum combines practical life skill development with adventure-based learning and community connection.
Over the course of the year, students will:
Build self-awareness and independence in everyday life skills
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
Plan, prepare for, and complete a summer capstone adventure project
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.
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.
