Cobscook Experiential Programs offers experiential, place-based education, outdoor leadership, and practical skill-building programs grounded in the ecology and cultures of the Cobscook Bay region and in a positive social/emotional setting. The signature program is a 4-year high school program offered in partnership with the Calais School Department. CEP is relational and experiential and leverages interdisciplinary, outdoor education and place-based pedagogies as transformative pathways for learning and engagement. Students participate in expeditions, community service projects, fieldwork with local experts and knowledge keepers, and individualized, small-group, and hands-on learning. These approaches are responsive to the needs of the youth, center student voice, and strengthen both personal and community wellbeing. CEP programming also includes a full slate of synergistic summer and afterschool programs.
