Untouched Beauty all Around Us

Our Outdoor Education classes offer students of all interests and skill levels opportunities to discover the delight and thrill of outdoor adventure, and it's all right out our back door. A short bus ride down a hill leads to Tallulah Gorge State Park, which features one of the most spectacular canyons in the eastern United States. Students often hike the trails or enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing in the lake. 

We encourage our students to discover the untouched beauty around us, develop a love for nature and outdoor activities, and embrace the adventures that await them. The Shortline Trail. Local waterfalls, mountain biking, kayaking, and fishing, learning about different species and animals.
