Our 4% initiatives helped Big City Mountaineers write new curriculum for the year and craft a more scaffolded approach to programing to create more touch points throughout the year and develop more meaningful and lifelong connections to the outdoors for our students.
Previously, students took one week-long expedition as their first and generally only interaction with BCM and while some truly magical things happen on that week-long experience, they realized that it may be difficult for students to really feel comfortable and supported. BCM is now going to be offering a scaffolded approach to programming by creating options like information sessions, day hikes, overnights, and then working up to the 5-7 day overnight/expeditions.
