Cadet Adventure
Today's cadets want to participate in exciting, hands-on learning. Adventure education is a form of experiential learning that takes learners out of their normal comfort zone to challenge their bravery and form their character in a fun, supportive way. More than lectures, readings, and tests, learners tend to remember and even cherish meaningful experiences. These are the ideas behind Cadet Adventure.

The Cadet Adventure program is a form of experiential education. Experiential education is defined as
The process of actively engaging students in an authentic experience that will have benefits and consequences. Students make discoveries and experiment with knowledge themselves instead of hearing or reading about the experiences of others. Students also reflect on their experiences, thus developing new skills, new attitudes, and new theories or ways of thinking.*
