Our Curriculum: The 4P's
At MCC, we believe that when we meaningfully connect to a sense of place, to other people, to a sense of personal power, and to pathways into the future, we connect to a sense of purpose. These 4 Ps (place, people, power, and pathways) provide the foundation for our field curriculum.
We’ll cover a variety of lessons focused on outdoor education, technical skills, leadership, and communication. Our workbook, Compass: Youth Edition, will be your place to work through and document it all: capturing your own learnings, takeaways, and goals.
