The former physical education teacher and ski instructor with a masters degree in psychology has seen troubled teenagers in the program develop healthy social hab

20、its before mastering an outdoor skill such as skiing.The program began in the fall of 2008, after Reece convinced school authorities there was a need for outdoor activities to help students struggling with their schooling and exhibiting behavior problems.“These are the kids who might be asked to lea

They felt part of the process and they felt special.”Students in the program join a group of seven peers fac

The pizzas nice, but the programs real point is the monthly outdoor-activity field trip, led by Reece and another teacher.“Im trying to expand their horizons and show them that

23、 something is out there for them,” Reece said. “A major part of the program is goal-setting and making plans.
