SPECTRUM ADVENTURE PROGRAM
“So many firsts, for him (and for me!) Core memories made. Heartstrings tugged. Connections and friendships formed. Confidence boosted. His brain will be processing and growing from these first for weeks and months to come”
-Dr. Makeba Garraway
We beautifully have an infinite variation in neurocognitive functioning within our species, creating a dynamic circuitry of possibilities. Outdoor experiential exploration in nature help children with neurodiversity defy negative expectations and build confidence in their own abilities. Rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding, are physically demanding sports that require concentration, communication, motor planning and sequential thought. These activities help develop the vestibular system, proprioception and sensory connections. These activities improve overall muscle tone, fine and gross motor skills and wonderfully benefits inter-hemispheric integration.
Nature-based adventure activities, especially climbing encourages problem-solving; independent thinking, helps improve behaviors and communication.
The most important therapeutic benefits of nature based learning probably to all of us, are the positive emotional, social, mental and health impacts. Our pioneering programs for people with neurodiverse abilities organically supports outdoor, recreation, adventure and outdoor immersion, bridging accessibility with sovereign joy in exploration.
