Project Adventure was founded in 1971 by educators who wanted to bring the tenets of Outward Bound into an educational setting. The teachers began inventing cooperative games and developing team-building initiatives to motivate their community of learners to achieve both academic and social growth through challenging adventure activities and focused reflection.
Riverview School is proud to announce that it has recently invested in the program! Athletic Director, John Benkis, who has been teaching the program at a summer camp for the past 4 summers and who is now leading the program at Riverview says, “My favorite part of Project Adventure is that kids realize that they need to communicate with one another and work together to solve problems.
