WHY ASHOKAN?
|
|
|
*
|
Ashokan's superior outdoor education programs have served as a model for other centers since 1967.
|
|
|
*
|
We provide overnight supervision, offering teachers and chaperones the nights off in a separate cabin near the student bunkhouse.
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
Our historic site with its 18th and 19th century buildings and farmstead immerses students in the ways of the past—exciting their imagination and motivating them to learn.
|
|
|
* Ashokan's smaller capacity (120 students) means that . . .
-
Our buildings are clustered, reducing time spent traveling from building to building.
-
Many schools have Ashokan to themselves, encouraging students to bond and experience a sense of community.
-
Our lower student/teacher ratio allows our instructors to get to know individual students and focus more effectively on their needs.

|
Your teachers are welcome to participate and enjoy all activities with the students!
