Experiential education is about personal moments. The moment of courage you find when you actually step onto a tippy boat for the first time. The moment you are the one giving the orders from the coxswain’s seat, hoping in your heart that you’ll get it right and that everyone will think you’re capable. The day you’re the one who has to leap from the bow of the boat to the shore with a line in your hand. The moment you recovered your oar when it got stuck in the water, and you didn’t miss a beat.
Within each of those moments is built a shot of belief in oneself which, in the minds of most young people, is replayed over and over again.
How can that be anything but good?
