Expeditionary Experience

Expeditionary Experience Application

Expeditionary Experience is an immersion program that asks teens to take on much more responsibility for themselves and others in their group than was required in Get Outside and Get Experience EcoPrograms. At times, all participants will assume leadership roles as well as to collaborate in decision making and planning. Teens who feel ready for more rigorous physical and mental responsibility are encouraged to apply.

ITE teens that have completed Get Experience EcoProgram are invited to participate in Expeditionary Experience. Parents are invited to attend an information meeting a week or two before our excursion. More information will be provided upon receipt of application.

As with all programs each session begins at Prescott College Tucson Center at 2233 E. Speedway, between Tucson Boulevard and Campbell Avenue. Participants must have reliable transportation to and from each session and carpooling is encouraged.

Expeditionary Experience EcoProgram cost is variable, depending upon the particular excursion.  ITE will also accept payment in 2 equal installments over the course of the program (please speak to Suzanne or Eric about setting up a payment plan).
