All of our staff members including senior management spend most of their time working directly with the students. They are role models – experienced professionals committed to the families, the program, and their own personal and professional development.

With a 1:4 staff to student ratio, our staff have the opportunity to build strong relationships with our students and families as they experience all aspects of the program together. We have a strong front-line with a diversity of expertise – qualified teachers, dance & movement therapists, professional chefs, adventure therapists, wilderness experts, & professional athletes.
