Are outdoor trips mandatory for all students?

While outdoor trips are a big part of the Crossroads experience, the school knows that one size doesn’t fit all. Most trips are encouraged, and some are built right into the curriculum, but there’s always room for flexibility. Not every student is going to feel at home on a camping trip or a ropes course, and that’s okay. The goal is to make these learning experiences meaningful and accessible, not stressful. Families can chat with teachers or administrators to find alternatives that still keep students engaged and growing. What matters most is that every student gets to learn in a way that feels right for them.
