Challenge Gear

Help me give my students the essential camping and backpacking gear to have safe, enjoyable and educational experiences.

Mr. Dean Prescott High School
Prescott, AZ Grades 9-12

My Students

Our students in the Challenge Outdoor Adventure Program range from grade 9-12 and come from all walks of life. Students who sign up for the program are choosing to participate in outdoor education opportunities that foster the development of teamwork, leadership and interpersonal skills. Students are choosing to challenge themselves by doing things they have never done, and finding out they are more capable than they ever thought possible.

My Project

The gear our high school Challenge Club is requesting will be used for years to come! Students will have access to the gear necessary to complete various "in the field" trips. Students will have the opportunity to travel and camp and hike in various national parks and monuments and backcountry areas in AZ. They will have access to activities like survival skill-building trips, river rafting, hiking, bike packing, and naturalist trips. Students will also engage in service-learning activities. All the gear requested will help PHS Challenge be ready for the next trip, the next adventure, and provide students with gear to safely engage in the outdoors.
