The Teen Adventure Program will be our most intensive, hands-on, adventurous, exploratory, and challenge-based program - by FAR. This class is designed to go deep into skills, foster a strong connection to the environment, and grow each student in a meaningful way.
The lead instructor will also be Down To Earth’s Director - Sean , bringing a wealth of experience in teen development as well as primitive skills, adventure programming, environmental knowledge, and stewardship to the class. If your teen is craving a more exciting experience filled with friends and new opportunities every week, this is the place for them!

$235/Month
Plus a $195 registration fee
A $195 registration fee is due with the enrollment application to hold your child's spot for the fall. This deposit is non-refundable and will only be deposited if your child is accepted into the program. If your child is on the wait-list, we will contact you as soon as a spot opens up!
We have two tuition payment options:
1. Monthly Payment Plan
After paying your $195 registration fee, your tuition can be paid in 8 installments of $235 each month that class takes place from August - May. This means that December and January will have no tuition charges. Payments will be withdrawn on the 1st of each of the stated months above.
2. Pay-in-Full
If you'd like to pay in full, tuition is $1,755 plus the $195 enrollment fee. The incentive for paying for the whole year is a 6% savings on your total yearly tuition.
Withdrawal Policy: If you need to withdraw your child from our program, please let us know at least two weeks prior to your child’s departure. This gives us enough time to fill your child’s space for the following month. If you paid the full year’s tuition up front, you will be refunded for the months following your child’s departure. If you do not provide at least two weeks notice, your tuition will not be refunded for that month.
