Experience Montana's Outdoor Classroom

PROVIDING EXPEDITION BASED EDUCATION FOR TEENAGERS

 

Rock-climbing, fly fishing, whitewater rafting, skiing, backpacking, horseback riding.....while earning high school credit.  Too good to be true?  NROC makes this a reality by offering academic expeditions where you'll forget you're actually in school. History, biology, geometry ... we teach all the traditional subjects in a nontraditional fashion.  Your classroom is the Rocky Mountain Wilderness.
