We believe that knowledge alone cannot transform us, but a constant sense of awareness and wonder of creation ensure lifelong learning. At Brookhaven Wilderness Learning Center, students focus on growth in these areas through facilitated lessons and team-building/character-building exercises.				Nature is the best science teacher. BWLC’s science program demonstrates this fact through hands-on activities in a guided educational process. These exercises, which take place in our classroom underneath the skies, stir curiosity, foster environmental understanding, engage students in community care, compliment classroom curriculum and encourage character development through personal and team growth.
