Are experiential learning opportunities expensive?
This depends on a few factors such as location of the EL opportunity and whether or not the student is paying tuition. But the good news is many EL opportunities are quite affordable. For example: internships done near a student’s home generally don’t cost a lot, nor does volunteering to be a camp counselor at one of NCC Horizon Camps. CLCE tries its best to keep its Alternative Spring Break trips right around $200 for the week and CFS offers many locally-based classes (such in the Shenandoah Valley) for which transportation costs are not high. In short, there are lots of ways students can, quite affordably, fulfill their 12-credit EL requirement and still in a meaningful way.
