ALIVE Programs and Services
At the root of ALIVE is the belief that how well we know and understand ourselves is what determines the quality of our lives. We have over 25 years of history developing and facilitating meaningful and engaging outdoor, international, and city-based programs that are focused on helping people develop a strong centre core, as well as an authentic connection to the natural environment and their peers. We work with each organization to design a customized scope and sequenced experiential program with outcomes that complement your educational goals and strategic vision.

OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
We believe that self awareness is the foundation of a meaningful life. Our programs guide participants through experiences with challenge, accomplishment, unexpected outcomes and moments of imperfection. With purposeful reflection, it is within these moments, that learning regarding self and community can be maximized.

As an impact driven organization we are deeply committed to designing programs dedicated not only to helping individuals comfortably become who they uniquely are, but also how they can use their gifts to contribute to the greater good.
