Zip Lines: The Voice for Adventure Education, n44 p6-12 Spr 2002

For 30 years, Project Adventure (PA) has created adventure education programs that help participants face their fears, understand how others feel, and build creative group process. School-based PA programs help students take responsibility for their own behavior, while PA techniques are widely used in adventure programs for at-risk and adjudicated youth. PA supports attempts to professionalize the field. (SV)
