Specializing in school experiential, wilderness, and international travel programs. |

I highly recommend Ann McCollum to all independent schools that engage in outdoor and or experiential education. Great teaching involves taking risks, but anyone who understands wilderness settings knows that there are ways to manage risks. Schools too often offer outdoor activities to their students without being fully aware of industry standards and expectations. Ann brings a wealth of practical experience to guide your school towards creating responsible and sensible programs and policies related to experiential education. She can evaluate your risk and exposure, but even more importantly help lead you to creating more meaningful learning opportunities for your students.

Our goal is to facilitate the achievement of excellence in experiential education programs by assisting programs to be grounded in solid management of risk. Our cooperative effort includes program assessment, evaluation, and community education. |
