What sort of educational programs are offered at the Highland Center?
The AMC offers a wide variety of educational programs and skills training for children, teens, and adults throughout the Appalachian region. These programs aim to help participants increase their understanding of the natural environment and gain proficiency in outdoors skills, such as map and compass use or wilderness medicine. A variety of these programs is envisioned to take place at the Highland Center. The Highland Center provides learning opportunities for students in the AMC’s A Mountain Classroom program, in which AMC instructors work with schoolteachers and schoolchildren to provide hands-on instruction in natural history and the environmental sciences in an unparalleled outdoor setting.
