Our setting and facilities are remarkable, but the true heart of the100 Elk program is the staff. We set no limitations on the participants, but allow each to soar in their own way. Whether it be getting past a difficult section of the ropes course or removing the fear that enables them to mount a horse and take a few steps, the staff are right there, supporting each step with understanding. Each staff member brings their own strengths, but a common element is their pure enjoyment of watching students learn and grow both in knowledge and character. 100 Elk staff are experienced outdoor educators from all over the country. Each has had specific and extensive training in the activities that 100 Elk offers, and comes ready to provide the safety, the care for the students, and large quantity of fun inherent in each activity.
	100 Elk staff sets these goals daily: We expect that each student will come away from their experience with a heightened awareness of those around them, a sense of self-worth and accomplishment, and a new appreciation of teamwork. We work towards each student gaining an appreciation for the outdoors and therefore live with a greater respect and care for the environment. We want students to feel valued and respected while here and take home what they've learned. We know that each student will have an incredible amount of fun!
