Outdoor education opportunities help Larchmont Charter School deliver many firsts to our students: their first time away from home, their first time camping, and for this generation, it has also become their first experience without a digital connection, and therefore, their first experience being completely responsible for their own entertainment. Nicole Garcia, an LCS 9th grader who attended PALI Institute a couple of years ago, spoke about PALI's importance in her academic and social-emotional development.

"It was important to go because it showed me all the different ways I could survive...in nature, no matter if it was freezing and raining or hot and sunny and it showed me that I could take chances, get out of my comfort zone and trust others."
