Speaker 1: Director Erica Pernell tells me Intrepid Academy at Hale gives

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: students the chance to learn and have some fun outdoors.

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: I think more and more schools are looking for opportunities

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: to get away from the traditional models of learning, get

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: away from the Wi Fi, and get outside. Our students

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: aren't on phones because they need both their hands to

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: do a lot of what they're doing out here.

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: And they also need some snow shoes. As the group

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: of students from the Chelsea Opportunity Academy treked through the snow.

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 3: We had a giant snowball fight. It's really awesome.

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: Victor is in a leadership class at CoA and says

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: he's learned a lot already.

13
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 4: Never really done activities in like the first year. This

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 4: is like the second year, and I'm doing a lot more.

15
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 4: I'm treating it more like a community rather than just

16
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 4: like a school. Everything about CoA is just really useful

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 4: for students that don't like traditional school.
