Canoeing Expedition
During this engaging 3-day, 2-night adventure at Represa de Paraibuna, students will discover a new world of experiences as they camp on the islands along the way. They will learn paddling and water safety while working on autonomy, self-confidence, problem-solving, decision-making, and efficient communication. Paddling isn't just about moving a boat – it's a metaphor for life's challenges. As the students paddle through the calm waters, they'll find themselves not only exploring the scenic beauty of the surroundings but also unraveling the layers of personal growth, self and social competencies, resilience, compassion, and environmental responsibility.
