While Pali Institute’s main program continues to be our overnight trips (3-5 days), we are excited to be offering shorter term trips as an alternative to schools!
Young Explorers – $200 per student (3rd-5th Grade Students)
The day starts with group games and teambuilding. After lunch students will participate in a hike to learn about forest ecology and wilderness skills. This trip is great for younger students and mixed-age groups.
Outdoor Experience – $200 per student (4th-12th Grade Students)
Students will begin their day with teambuilding before moving into curriculum classes (no high ropes.) Teachers are able to select three different classes to customize the trip. Build the trip you want to take!
