PEER LEADERSHIP URBAN EXPEDITIONS

Five-day Peer Leadership Urban Expeditions set within the rich cultural, historical, and natural environment of metropolitan Philadelphia. These expeditions are offered to middle and high schools in the Philadelphia metropolitan region during the spring and fall semesters, and are uniquely designed to engage students with their peers in challenging environments in order to develop leadership and personal skills applicable to everyday life at home and school. Students explore the city, complete community service projects, climb Outward Bound's high ropes, overnight in a 30' high tree house, and spend quiet reflective "solo time."

One or two educators from each participating school accompany the selected students on their course. Funding subsidies are available to support these educational programs. Public schools pay a nominal admissions fee to participate. Peer Leadership Urban Expeditions run on a pre-set schedule from April through late November.
