The mission of the Besant Hill Outdoor Education Program is to provide students with the opportunity to develop intellectual, social, and personal skills through challenge and adventure in a safe and supportive environment. It is from these experiences that students become positive, contributing members of their communities by understanding the connection between themselves and the world at large.
