Middle & High School Programs
At Hearty Roots, we believe that every young person deserves the chance to grow strong, grounded, and connected—both to themselves and the world around them. Our Middle and High School Programs are designed to meet teens where they are, providing meaningful opportunities for adventure, connection, and reflection.
Through hands-on experiences in the outdoors, students build resilience, teamwork, and self-awareness. Whether it’s paddling the coast, hiking through Maine’s woods, sitting in quiet reflection, or tackling creative team challenges, our programs balance playful exploration with intentional growth.
We partner with schools, community programs and families to create experiences that:
Foster confidence and independence
Cultivate teamwork and problem-solving skills
Encourage emotional expression and reflection
Inspire a lifelong relationship with nature
Each session is guided by our flexible framework and the CASEL Social-Emotional Learning standards, ensuring that young people not only gain skills, but also learn how to navigate challenges, build healthy relationships, and see their own strengths more clearly.
