Science and Children—March 1999

"Off the Beaten Path" is a program that takes at-risk students out of the traditional classroom and into a camping atmosphere. The program's purpose is to help increase academic achievement, improve self-esteem, and promote better social skills. It also helps to show how skills learned in the classroom tie into lives outside the school.
